Hadith 5

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported from Isa Bin Abdul Rahman, from his father who said, ‘Ibn Ukasha Bin Mihsan Al-Asady entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws. Abu Abdullah-asws was standing in his-asws presence. He-asws forwarded grapes to him. He-asws said: ‘One by one is eaten by the old man or the young child, and three and four. One who thinks that he is not satiated, eat it two by two, for it is recommended’. He said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘For which thing (reason) Abu Abdullah-asws hasn’t got married, for he-asws has reached the marriageable age’. In front of him-asws was a sealed package. A slave trader from the people of Berber will be coming. He will lodge at the house of Maymoun. We-asws shall buy a slave girl for him-asws with this package’. He (the narrator) said, ‘It came for that what came (time). One day we entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws. He-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws inform you all about the slave trader who I-asws had mentioned to you all? He has arrived, so go and buy a slave girl from him with this package’. We came to the slave trader. He said, ‘I have sold what had been in my possession except these two ill slave girls. One of them is closer to be cured than the other’. We said, ‘Bring them out until we look at them’. He brought them out. We said, ‘For how much will you sell this almost-well slave girl? ’ He said, ‘Seventy Dinars’. We said, ‘Excellent! ’ He said, ‘I will not reduce from seventy Dinars’. We said, ‘We shall buy her from you with this package, whatever it reaches, and we do not know what is in it’. In his presence was a man of white head and beard. He said, ‘Break the seal and weigh! ’ The slave trader said, ‘Do not break, for if it is deficient by a seed from the seventy, I will not sell to you’. The old man said, ‘Weigh! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘We broke it and weighed the Dinars, and behold, these were seventy Dinars, neither more nor less. We took the slave girl and we entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws, and Ja’far-asws was standing with him-asws. We informed Abu Ja’far-asws with what had happened. He-asws praised Allah-azwj. Then he-asws said to her: ‘What is your name? ’ She-as said, ‘Hameeda! ’ He-asws said: ‘Praising (Hameeda) in the world and praised in the Hereafter! Inform me about yourself, are you a virgin or deflowered? ’ She said, ‘Virgin’. He-asws said: ‘And how, and nothing tends to fall in the hand of the slave traders except they corrupt it? ’
She said, ‘He had come and sat from me a sitting of the man from the woman, but Allah-azwj Caused him to be overcome by a man of white head and beard. He did not cease to slap him until he stood up from me. He did so with me repeatedly and the old man did (that) repeatedly’. He-asws said: ‘O Ja’far-asws! Take her-as to yourself-asws, for she-as will be blessed with the best of the people of the earth, Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws! ’’[5]
