سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِسَبْيٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا الْجُحْفَةَ نَفِدَتْ نَفَقَاتُهُمْ فَبَاعُوا جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ كَانَتْ أُمُّهَا مَعَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سَمِعَ بُكَاءَهَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْبُكَاءُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ احْتَجْنَا إِلَى نَفَقَةٍ فَبِعْنَا ابْنَتَهَا فَبَعَثَ بِثَمَنِهَا فَأُتِيَ بِهَا وَ قَالَ بِيعُوهُمَا جَمِيعاً أَوْ أَمْسِكُوهُمَا جَمِيعاً .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘They came to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> with captives from Al-Yemen. So when they reached Al-Juhfa, their expenditure (money) ran out. So they sold a girl from the captives, whose mother was with them. So when they proceded to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, he<sup>saww</sup> heard her wailing. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘What is this wailing?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! We became needy to the spending money, so we sold her daughter’. So he<sup>saww</sup> sent (someone) with her price who came back with her, and he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Either sell them both together or keep both of them together’.
