وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَ مَعِي رَقِيقٌ فَمَرَرْتُ بِالْعَاشِرِ فَسَأَلَنِي فَقُلْتُ هُمْ أَحْرَارٌ كُلُّهُمْ فَقَدِمْتُ اَلْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِي لِلْعَاشِرِ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ " فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ فِيهِمْ جَارِيَةً قَدْ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَ بِهَا حَمْلٌ قَالَ "لاَ أَ لَيْسَ وَلَدُهَا بِالَّذِي يُعْتِقُهَا إِذَا هَلَكَ سَيِّدُهَا صَارَتْ مِنْ نَصِيبِ وَلَدِهَا".
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id narrated from Safwan ibn Yahya, who narrated from al-Walid ibn Hisham: "I came from Egypt with some slaves, and when I passed by the tax collector (al-'Ashir), he asked me about them. I said: 'They are all free.' When I arrived in Medina, I went to Abu al-Hasan (a.s), and informed him about what I had told the tax collector. Imam (a.s) said: 'There is nothing upon you.' I then said: 'Among them is a bondwoman with whom I had relations, and she is pregnant.' Imam (a.s) replied: 'Isn't her child the one who will free her? When her master dies, she becomes the share of her child.'"
