Hadith 11

(The book) ‘I’lam Al Wara’ – Abdul Jabbar Bin Ali Al Razy, from sheykh Al Taaifa, from Al Husayn Bin Ubeydullah, from Ahmad Bin Al Bazufary, from Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Abbas Bin Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad Al Dahqan, from Ibrahim Bin Sali Al Anmaty, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, and Ziyad Bin Al Numan, and Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Hisham Bin Ahmad who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws sent for me during a day of severe heat. He-asws said to me: ‘Go to so and so African and get him to display a slave girl with him, her state is such and such, and her description is such and such’. I went to the (African) man, and he displayed what was with him, but I did not see what he-asws had described to me. So I returned to him-asws and informed him-asws. He-asws said; ‘Return to him, for she is with him’. I returned to the African, and he swore to me there was nothing with him except and he had already displayed it to me. Then he said to me, ‘With me there is a sick maid, shaved of head. She isn’t from what I have displayed’. I said to him, ‘Display her to me! ’ He came with her. She was leaning upon two slave girls, her legs were dragging in the ground. He showed her. I recognised the description. I said, ‘How much is she for? ’ He said to me, ‘Go with her to him-asws for he-asws will decide regarding her’. Then he said to me, ‘By Allah-azwj! I had gone to her since I owned her, but I was not able upon her, and the one who had sold her to me had informed me during that he could not arrive to her (as well), and the slave girl swore that she had (dreamt) that she-as had looked at the moon falling into her-as lap. I informed Abu Abdullah-asws with her-as words. He-asws gave me two hundred Dinars. I went with these to him. The man said, ‘She is hereby free for the Face of Allah-azwj, even if he-asws had not sent to me with buying her from Al-Maghrib (Morocco)’. I informed Abu Abdullah-asws with his words. Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Ibn Ahmar! But she-as shall be blessed with a new-born, there wouldn’t be any veil between him-asws and Allah-azwj’’. [14]
It has been reported by the sheykh Al Mufeed, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, in the book ‘Al Irshad’, similar to this Hadeeth attributed to Hisham Bin Ahmad as well, except that he said in it, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws had instructed him to buy this slave girl and she was the mother-as of Al-Reza-asws’’.

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Al Husayn Bin Ubeydullah – similar to it. [16]
