Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16801 — A slave: how many women may he marry?
١٦٨٠١ - حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن ابن عون عن محمد قال: قال عمر: من يعلم ما يحل للمملوك من النساء؟ قال رجل: أنا، (قال: كم؟) (١) قال: امرأتين! فسكت (٢).
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once asked: "Who knows how many marriages a slave may contract?" A man said: "I know." Sayyiduna Umar asked: "How many marriages may he contract?" He said: "Two." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) fell silent.
