٢٨٤١٤ - حدثنا ابن مهدي (عن سفيان) (١) عن سعد بن يوسف بن يعقوب قال: قالوا لطاووس في عبدٍ له، فقال: ما له مال (فأكاتبه) (٢) ولا هو صالح فأزوجه، وكان يكره الضرب، ويقول: القيد.
Hazrat Saad bin Yusuf bin Yaqoob narrates that some people said to Hazrat Tawus regarding one of their slaves: He has no wealth so that I may make him a mukatab, nor is he pious so that I may get him married, and that person disliked beating: He (Hazrat Tawus) said: Imprison him.
