Chapter on the Rulings Regarding Male Slaves and Female Bondwoman
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ يُزَوِّجُ مَمْلُوكاً لَهُ اِمْرَأَةً حُرَّةً عَلَى مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَاعَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ "يُعْطِيهَا سَيِّدُهُ مِنْ ثَمَنِهِ نِصْفَ مَا فَرَضَ لَهَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ دَيْنٍ اِسْتَدَانَهُ بِإِذْنِ سَيِّدِهِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام regarding a man who married his slave to a free woman for a dowry of one hundred dirhams. Then, before the slave consummated the marriage with her, the master sold him. Imam عليه السلام said: "The master must give her half of the agreed dowry from the price he received for selling the slave. This is treated as a debt that the slave incurred with the permission of his master."
