7. Humayd ibn Ziyad from ai-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Isma’ii ibn ai-Fadi who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about buying slaves of tax payers if their government approves. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the authority over them approves you can buy and marry them.’”
