Chapter on the Rulings Regarding Male Slaves and Female Bondwoman

وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ أَمْكَنَتْ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا عَبْداً لَهَا فَنَكَحَهَا "أَنْ تُضْرَبَ مِائَةً وَ يُضْرَبَ اَلْعَبْدُ خَمْسِينَ جَلْدَةً وَ أَنْ يُبَاعَ بِصُغْرٍ مِنْهَا" وَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا عَبْداً مُدْرِكاً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".
Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام ruled in the case of a woman who allowed her slave to have relations with her and married him: She is to be given one hundred lashes, and the slave is to be given fifty lashes. The slave is then to be sold in a manner that ensures he is distanced from her (bi-sughrin minha). It is forbidden for any Muslim to sell her a mature slave after that incident."
