Hadith 16
۞
Hadith.3509 - In a narration from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Al-Bazanti, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, he said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a man who dies and leaves behind an Umm al-Walad (a female slave who bore him a child) and has a child from her. Can another man marry her?
Imam (as) said: "I was informed that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), instructed regarding the Umm al-Walad women he had relations with:
'Whoever among them has borne a child, she becomes the share of her child. And whoever has not borne a child, she is set free.' And those who had children were assigned to their children to ensure that they would not marry except with the permission of their family."
3509 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ وَ لَهُ مِنْهَا وَلَدٌ أَ يَصْلُحُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقَالَ "أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَوْصَى فِي أُمَّهَاتِ اَلْأَوْلاَدِ اَللاَّتِي كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ "مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُنَّ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَهِيَ مِنْ نَصِيبِ وَلَدِهَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ" وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُنَّ لَهَا وَلَدٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِ وَلَدِهَا لِكَيْلاَ تَنْكِحَ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ أَهْلِهَا".
