Hadith 250

Hadith.3392 - Al-Hakam ibn Miskin narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said that Abu Abdillah (as) said
"If two or three men have intercourse with a bondwoman during the same period of purity, and she gives birth, and all of them claim the child, the ruler should draw lots among them. Whomever the lot falls upon, the child is his, and he must pay the value of the child to the owner of the bondwoman."
Imam (as) further said: "If a man buys a bondwoman, and another man comes and claims her rightfully, and she has already given birth to a child by the buyer, the bondwoman is returned to the rightful owner, while the child belongs to the buyer, but he must pay its value."
3392 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَكَمُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"إِذَا وَطِئَ رَجُلاَنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٌ جَارِيَةً فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَوَلَدَتْ فَادَّعَوْهُ جَمِيعاً أَقْرَعَ اَلْوَالِي بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنْ قَرَعَ كَانَ اَلْوَلَدُ وَلَدَهُ وَ يَرُدُّ قِيمَةَ اَلْوَلَدِ عَلَى صَاحِبِ اَلْجَارِيَةِ"
قَالَ "فَإِنِ اِشْتَرَى رَجُلٌ جَارِيَةً فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَحَقَّهَا وَ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ مِنَ اَلْمُشْتَرِي رَدَّ اَلْجَارِيَةَ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدُهَا بِقِيمَتِهِ".
