31. Abu Ali al-Ash ‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Sa‘id ibn Yasar who has narrated the following: “About the case of a man who has given a certain amount of assets to another man saying, ‘I give it to you to save it for my two daughters so and so and so and so.’ The old man later after giving the funds decided to take one hundred twenty-five dinar back to buy a slave-girl for his grandson. The old man then died; and dispute emerged between the two girls or one of them with the boy. They said, ‘If you go to bed with the slave-girl, it is unlawful because our father had bought with our funds that were kept with so and so; if you go to bed with her it is unlawful.’ The boy stayed away from the slave-girl. What is your opinion about this issue?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Is it not the case that the person who gave the asset is the father of the two girls and the boy’s grandfather who bought the slave-girl?’ I replied, ‘Yes, that is the case.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Say to the boy to go to his slave-girl if his grandfather is the one who has given and he is the one who has received.’”
