171. hadíth

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى اَلْكَاهِلِيُّ قَالَ سَأَلَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ لَهُ عِنْدِي جُوَيْرِيَةٌ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهَا رَحِمٌ وَ لَهَا سِتُّ سِنِينَ قَالَ "لاَ تَضَعْهَا فِي حَجْرِكَ".

Abdullah ibn Yahya al-Kahili narrated that Ahmad ibn al-Numan asked Abu Abdillah (a.s): "I have a young bondwoman who is not related to me by blood, and she is six years old." Imam (a.s) said: "Do not place her in your lap."
