Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22414 — A man who buys a slave woman

Amir (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who bought a slave-girl and claimed that she was pregnant, while the seller denied it. The slave-girl was placed in the care of an upright person so that her pregnancy might become evident, and then she died. What is the ruling on this? He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If her pregnancy has become evident, she has perished from the seller's property, and if her pregnancy has not become evident, she has perished from the buyer's property.
