Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘How can the man marry his slave to his slave girl?’ He asws said: ‘He should be saying, ‘I hereby marry you, so and so slave girl’, and give some whatever he so desires to from himself, or on behalf of his slave, though it be a handful of foodstuff, or a Dirham, or approximately that’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws regarding the owned slave, so there happens to be for his master or for her mistress, a slave girl. So he intends to gather between the two of them. Would his marriage be a (valid) marriage, or would it suffice him if he is saying, ‘I have married you to so and so woman, and he gives something from himself, or on behalf of the slave?’ He asws said: ‘Yes, and even if it is a handful, and it is my asws view that he should give the Dirham’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abu Is’haq Al Khannaf, from Muhammad Bin Abu Zayd, from Abu Haroun Al Makfouf who said, ‘Abu Abdullah asws said to me: ‘Would it cheer you up if there happened to be a (travel) guide for you, O Abu Haroun! I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you asws ! So he asws gave me thirty Dinars and said: ‘Buy a male Kasoumiyya servant’. So I bought him. So when I went to Hajj, I went over to him asws . (He (the narrator) said, ‘So he asws said to him: ‘How do you see your (travel) guide, O Abu Haroun?’ So he said, ‘Good’. So he asws gave him twenty five Dinars and said to him: ‘Buy a slave girl, for her children would be a delight’. So I bought a young slave girl and got her married to him. So she attained three daughters, and I gifted one of them to one of the children of Abu Abdullah asws , and hoped that he asws would make my Reward from it to be the Paradise, and I remained with two, what made me to be cheerful thousands of times’.
