وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي اَلْمَمْلُوكَ لِمَنْ مَالُهُ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ عَلِمَ اَلْبَائِعُ أَنَّ لَهُ مَالاً فَهُوَ لِلْمُشْتَرِي وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلِمَ فَهُوَ لِلْبَائِعِ".

In a narration from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Zurara, he said: "I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who buys a slave, who does the wealth of the slave belong to?" Imam (a.s) replied: "If the seller knew that the slave had wealth, then it belongs to the buyer. However, if the seller was unaware, then it belongs to the seller."
