حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، وَزَادَ : وَإِذَا زَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمْ خَادِمَهُ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ أَجِيرَهُ ، فَلَا يَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَا دُونَ السُّرَّةِ وَفَوْقَ الرُّكْبَةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهِمَ وَكِيعٌ فِي اسْمِهِ ، وَرَوَى عَنْهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ سَوَّارٌ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ .
This tradition has been narrated by Dawud bin Sawar al-Muzani through a different chain of transmitters and to the same effect. This version adds; if any of you marries his slave-girl to his male-slave or his servant, he should not look at her private part below her navel and above her knees. Abu Dawud said: Waki misunderstood the name of Dawud bin Sawar. Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi has narrated this tradition from him. He said: Anu Hamzah Sawar al-Sairafi.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
496. Commentary:
In addition to taking care to prevent children from mixing in beds, adults must also adopt extreme caution in matters of gender relations. No doubt, a slave-girl is one’s purchased property and ownership, but when her chastity has been transferred to another through a valid (shar‘i) contract, then even the owner is prohibited from looking at her in such a manner.
