لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْحُرُّ الْمَمْلُوكَةَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ حَيْثُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا وَ الطَّوْلُ الْمَهْرُ وَ مَهْرُ الْحُرَّةِ الْيَوْمَ مَهْرُ الْأَمَةِ أَوْ أَقَلُّ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Iibn Fazal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is not befitting that the free man marries the slave woman today. But rather, that was where Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h25"><a href="/books/quran:4#h25">[4:25]</a></a> And whoever among you has not within his power ampleness of means</span>, and the ampleness of means is the dower, and a dower of the free woman today is a dower of the slave girl or even less’.
