A man who buys a slave boy and finds him to have scalp disease or baldness

Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a slave is to be returned because of baldness.

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man bought a slave from another man, and when he took him away, the slave turned out to be bald. The man came disputing with the seller to Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) and said: "I bought the slave from this man and he is bald. Look at his baldness; this baldness is nothing new." Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I cannot both judge and be a witness. Show him to some other people, then come to me with them so that they may testify in your favour; otherwise the seller will swear an oath that he did not sell him with this baldness."
