قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يُحِلُّ جَارِيَتَهُ لِأَخِيهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ قَالَ يَضُمُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدَهُ وَ يَرُدُّ الْجَارِيَةَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَهُ وَ هُوَ لَا يَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ.
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleym, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man permits his slave girl to his brother. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. So I said, ‘(supposing) she were to come with a child?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His child would be entrusted to him and the slave girl returned to her owner’. I said, ‘Supposing he had not permitted to him regarding that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He had permitted for him, and it was not safe for that to happen’.
