فَذَهَبَ لِتَقُومَ فِي بَعْضِ الْحَاجَةِ فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّاهْ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَ لَكِ أُمٌّ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُدَّتْ فَقَالَ مَا آمَنْتُ لَوْ حَبَسْتُهَا أَنْ أَرَى فِي وُلْدِي مَا أَكْرَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, a slave girl having been bought for him<sup>asws</sup> from Al-Kufa. So he<sup>asws</sup> went on to stand regarding one of the needs, so she said, ‘O mother!’ So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is there a mother for you?’ She said, ‘Yes’. So he<sup>asws</sup> ordered with her to be returned, and said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not feel safe if I<sup>asws</sup> were to keep her, from seeing in my<sup>asws</sup> children what I<sup>asws</sup> dislike’.
