Hadith 296
۞
Hadith.3438 - Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl narrated from Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about two men who jointly own a female slave. One of them frees his half, and the slave says to the one who did not free his half, "I do not want to be valued; leave me as I am, and I will continue serving you."
Meanwhile, the owner intends to marry the other half of her.
Imam (as) said: "He should not do that, for a woman cannot have two private parts. Nor should he use her for service. Instead, he must value her and let her work to pay off the remaining portion."
3438 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلَيْنِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمَا اَلْأَمَةُ فَيُعْتِقُ أَحَدُهُمَا نِصْفَهُ فَتَقُولُ اَلْأَمَةُ لِلَّذِي لَمْ يُعْتِقْ نِصْفَهُ لاَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَوِّمَنِي ذَرْنِي كَمَا أَنَا أَخْدُمْكَ وَ أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَنْكِحَ اَلنِّصْفَ اَلْآخَرَ قَالَ "لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَكُونُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ فَرْجَانِ وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَخْدِمَهَا وَ لَكِنْ يُقَوِّمُهَا وَ يَسْتَسْعِيهَا".
