4569 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ زَوَّجَ مَمْلُوكَةً لَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حُرٍّ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَعَجَّلَ لَهُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ عَنْهُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ سَيِّدَهَا بَاعَهَا بَعْدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ لِمَنْ تَكُونُ اَلْمِائَتَانِ اَلْمُؤَخَّرَتَانِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَوْفَاهَا بَقِيَّةَ اَلْمَهْرِ حَتَّى بَاعَهَا فَلاَ شَيْءَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ لِغَيْرِهِ وَ إِذَا بَاعَهَا اَلسَّيِّدُ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنَ اَلزَّوْجِ اَلْحُرِّ إِذَا كَانَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ".
Hadith.4569 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Sadan ibn Muslim, from Abu Basir, from one of the Imams (peace be upon them), regarding a man who married his bondwoman to a free man for a dowry of four hundred dirhams. He paid two hundred dirhams in advance and delayed the payment of the remaining two hundred dirhams. The husband then consummated the marriage with her. Later, her master sold her to another man. Who is responsible for the remaining two hundred dirhams? Imam (as) said: "If the husband did not pay the remainder of the dowry before she was sold, then neither he nor anyone else owes it. And when her master sold her, she became separated from the free husband, provided he was aware of this ruling."
