١٢٨٣٨ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا داود بن أبي هند عن الشعبي قال: مرت رفقة من أهل الشام فاشتروا جارية فأعتقوها فطرحت طنا من قصب على صبي فقتلته، (فأوتي بها) (١) مسروق، فقال: التمسوا أولياءها، فلم يجدوا أحدًا، فنظر ساعة و (تفكر) (٢)، وقال: قال اللَّه: ﴿فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ﴾ [المجادلة: ٤]، اذهبي فصومي شهرين متتابعين ولا شيء لهم عليك.
Hazrat Sha’bi narrates that once I passed by the people of Syria, and they bought a slave-girl and set her free. That slave-girl threw a bundle of wood on a child, due to which the child died. She was brought to Hazrat Masrooq, who said: “Find the heirs of the child.” They did not find anyone. He pondered for a while and then said: “Allah the Exalted has said, { فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ شَھْرَیْنِ مُتَتَابِعِیْنِ } Take her away and make her fast for sixty days, and there is nothing (no penalty, etc.) upon her for them.”
