Chapter on the Rulings Regarding Male Slaves and Female Bondwoman
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَكَمٍ اَلْأَعْمَى وَ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَذِنَ لِغُلاَمِهِ فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ أَبَقَ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ فَجَاءَتِ اِمْرَأَةُ اَلْعَبْدِ تَطْلُبُ نَفَقَتَهَا مِنْ مَوْلَى اَلْعَبْدِ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ لَهَا عَلَى مَوْلَى اَلْعَبْدِ نَفَقَةٌ وَ قَدْ بَانَتْ عِصْمَتُهَا مِنْهُ لِأَنَّ إِبَاقَ اَلْعَبْدِ طَلاَقُ اِمْرَأَتِهِ وَ هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْمُرْتَدِّ عَنِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ " قُلْتُ فَإِنْ هُوَ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَوْلاَهُ أَ تَرْجِعُ اِمْرَأَتُهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَتْ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ فَلاَ سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ فَهِيَ اِمْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى اَلنِّكَاحِ اَلْأَوَّلِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hakam al-Ama and Hisham ibn Salim, from Ammar al-Sabati, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who permitted his slave to marry a free woman. The slave then fled from his master, and the wife of the slave came seeking maintenance from the master of the slave. Imam عليه السلام said: "She has no right to maintenance from the master of the slave, and her marriage bond with the slave is severed, because the slave's escape is considered a divorce, and he is like one who has apostatized from Islam." I asked: "If the slave returns to his master, does his wife return to him?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If her waiting period (iddah) has ended and she has married another husband, then he has no claim over her. However, if she has not married another, she remains his wife based on the original marriage contract."
