قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَةٌ أَبَقَتْ مِنْ مَوَالِيهَا فَأَتَتْ قَبِيلَةً غَيْرَ قَبِيلَتِهَا فَادَّعَتْ أَنَّهَا حُرَّةٌ فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَظَفِرَ بِهَا مَوْلَاهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ أَوْلَاداً فَقَالَ إِنْ أَقَامَ الْبَيِّنَةَ الزَّوْجُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَهَا عَلَى أَنَّهَا حُرَّةٌ أُعْتِقَ وُلْدُهَا وَ ذَهَبَ الْقَوْمُ بِأَمَتِهِمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُقِمِ الْبَيِّنَةَ أُوجِعَ ظَهْرُهُ وَ اسْتُرِقَّ وُلْدُهُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Abdullah Bin Bahr, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A slave girl absconded from her master, so she went over to a tribe other than her own tribe, and she claimed that she was a free woman. So a man leapt upon her and married her. So her master appeared after that and she had given birth to children’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the husband can establish the proof that he had married her upon a stipulation that she was a free woman, her children would be free, and the people would go with their slave girl. So if he were not to establish the proof, his back would be pained, and his children would be enslaved’.
