7- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ تَكُونُ لِيَ الْمَمْلُوكَةُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَحُجُّ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا وَأَتَزَوَّجُ فَقَالَ لا تَحُجَّ وَلا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْهُ.
8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ibn Faddal from Muthanna’ al-Hannat from abu Basir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘I have a slave born out of wedlock; if I can perform al-Hajj with his price or spend it for my marriage/ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not perform al-Hajj with it and do not spend it for your marriage.’”
