1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ اللَّقِيطُ لا يُشْتَرَى وَلا يُبَاعُ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Muthanna’ from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘One cannot buy or sell an abandoned child that is found.’”
