من كان يرد من الحمقThose Who Say a Slave or Slave Girl May Be Returned Due to Foolishness
Hadith 22365
٢٢٣٦٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا معتمر بن سليمان عن زيد (١) أبي المعلى مولى لبني تميم قال: شهدت إياس بن معاوية اختصم إليه في جارية، فقال (الرجل) (٢): إني اشتريت من هذا جارية حمقاء، قال: ما أعلمه يُردُّ من الحمق، فقال: إنه حمق كالجنون، قال: فقال لها بالفارسية: تذكرين ليلة ولدتي؟ قالت: نعم، قال: فقال لها: أي (رجليك) (٣) أطول؟. قال: فقالت (بإحدى) (٤) رجليها: هذا فردها.
Hazrat Zaid Abu al-Ma'la (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was present with Hazrat Iyas bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him), when a dispute regarding a slave girl was brought before him. One person said, "I bought this slave girl from him, but she is foolish." The other said, "I do not know that she would be returned due to foolishness." The first person submitted, "Foolishness is also like insanity." Hazrat Iyas (may Allah have mercy on him) asked the woman (slave girl) in Persian, "Do you remember the night in which you were born?" She replied, "Yes." He (may Allah have mercy on him) asked her, "Which of your legs is longer?" She pointed to one leg and said, "This one." Thus, she was returned to her previous owner.
