15. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Faddal who has said the following
“Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), has said, ‘A slave-girl can be returned because of four issues: Madness, leprosy, Bars (leprosy), al-Qarn (something in the vagina that prevents sexual intercourse) and al-Hadbah (convexity) which makes the chest go in and the back come out.’”
15- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ تُرَدُّ الْجَارِيَةُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ خِصَالٍ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَالْبَرَصِ وَالْقَرَنِ الْحَدَبَةِ إِلا أَنَّهَا تَكُونُ فِي الصَّدْرِ تُدْخِلُ الظَّهْرَ وَتُخْرِجُ الصَّدْرَ.
