Al-Kāfi|Volume 5|Book 2|Chapter 102
6- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا يَطِيبُ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا وَلا يَطِيبُ ثَمَنُهُ أَبَداً وَالْمِمْرَازُ لا يَطِيبُ إِلَى سَبْعَةِ آبَاءٍ وَقِيلَ لَهُ وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ الْمِمْرَازُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَكْتَسِبُ مَالا مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ فَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِهِ أَوْ يَتَسَرَّى بِهِ فَيُولَدُ لَهُ فَذَاكَ الْوَلَدُ هُوَ الْمِمْرَازُ.
6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from abu al-Jahm from abu Khadijah who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘One born out of fornication does not recover as well as his price. Al-Mumraz does not recover for seven generations. It was asked, ‘What is al- Mumraz?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One earns through unlawful ways and with such funds gets married or enjoys it, and a child is born for him. That child is al-Mumraz.’”
