سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رِجَالٍ اشْتَرَكُوا فِي أَمَةٍ فَائْتَمَنُوا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونَ الْأَمَةُ عِنْدَهُ فَوَطِئَهَا قَالَ يُدْرَأُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْحَدِّ بِقَدْرِ مَا لَهُ فِيهَا مِنَ النَّقْدِ وَ يُضْرَبُ بِقَدْرِ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا وَ تُقَوَّمُ الْأَمَةُ عَلَيْهِ بِقِيمَةٍ وَ يُلْزَمُهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْقِيمَةُ أَقَلَّ مِنَ الثَّمَنِ الَّذِي اشْتُرِيَتْ بِهِ الْجَارِيَةُ أُلْزِمَ ثَمَنَهَا الْأَوَّلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قِيمَتُهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي قُوِّمَتْ فِيهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا أُلْزِمَ ذَلِكَ الثَّمَنَ وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ لِأَنَّهُ اسْتَفْرَشَهَا قُلْتُ فَإِنْ أَرَادَ بَعْضُ الشُّرَكَاءِ شِرَاءَهَا دُونَ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا حَتَّى يَسْتَبْرِئَهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا إِلَّا بِالْقِيمَةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who associated in a slave girl, so they entrusted one of them upon a stipulation that the slave girl would be with him, so he copulated with her. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘(Part) of the legal punishment (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) would be staved off by a measurement of what was for him in her from the cash, and he would be whipped in accordance with what was not for him in her; and the slave girl would be evaluated upon him with a price and it would be binding upon him. If the price is less that the price which the slave girl was bought with, her former price would be obligated, and it was that her price in that day in which she was evaluated in was more than her (former) price, that (later) price would be obligated, and he would be belittled, because he bedded her’. I said, ‘Supposing one of the partners were to buy her beside the man (who copulated with her)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is for him, and it is not for him that he buys her until he exonerates her, and it is not upon someone else that he buys her except with the price’.
