سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَصْلُحُ لِي أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْجَارِيَةَ الْآبِقَةَ وَ أُعْطِيَهُمُ الثَّمَنَ وَ أَطْلُبَهَا أَنَا قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ شِرَاؤُهَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ مِنْهُمْ مَعَهَا شَيْئاً ثَوْباً أَوْ مَتَاعاً فَتَقُولَ لَهُمْ أَشْتَرِي مِنْكُمْ جَارِيَتَكُمْ فُلَانَةَ وَ هَذَا الْمَتَاعَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا دِرْهَماً فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ جَائِزٌ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
9. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Mahbub from Rifa’ah al-Nakhkhas who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), if my buying a runaway slave-girl from a people and paying them the price but myself search to find her, is valid. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not valid unless you buy from them a certain other item, like cloths or so and say to them, “I buy your so slave- girl and this item of goods for so and so amount of dirham.” This is permissible.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
