Hadith.3314 - And Ibn Abi Umair narrated from Al-Husayn bin Khalid Al-Sayrafi, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Madhi, peace be upon him, who said: I wrote to Imam (as) regarding a man who died, leaving behind a bondwoman, and her master had given her something during his lifetime. Then the master died. Imam (as) wrote back: "She is entitled to what her master gave her during his lifetime, as it is recognized for her. The testimony of a man, a woman, and trustworthy servants is accepted in this matter, provided they are not accused of dishonesty."
