موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب البيوعBook: On the Rulings of Buying and Selling
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعُرْبَانِChapter on what is reported regarding ‘urban sale
Hadith 1303B4
. قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَبْتَاعُ الْعَبْدَ أَوِ الْوَلِيدَةَ بِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، إِلَى أَجَلٍ، ثُمَّ يَنْدَمُ الْبَائِعُ، فَيَسْأَلُ الْمُبْتَاعَ : أَنْ يُقِيلَهُ بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ يَدْفَعُهَا إِلَيْهِ نَقْدًا، أَوْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ، وَيَمْحُو عَنْهُ الْمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ الَّتِي لَهُ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if someone sells a pregnant slave woman but does not sell her pregnancy, it is not valid, because who knows whether the child is male or female, beautiful or ugly, complete or deformed, alive or dead, so how will he deduct its price from the price of the slave woman?
