3833 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَشْتَرِي اَلْعَبْدَ وَ هُوَ آبِقٌ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ "لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ مَعَهُ شَيْئاً آخَرَ وَ يَقُولَ أَشْتَرِي مِنْكَ هَذَا اَلشَّيْءَ وَ عَبْدَكَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى اَلْعَبْدِ كَانَ اَلثَّمَنُ اَلَّذِي نَقَدَهُ فِيمَا اِشْتَرَى مِنْهُ".
Hadith.3833 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, from Abu Abdillah 
regarding a man who purchases a slave while the slave has run away from his owner.
Imam said: "It is not permissible for him unless he purchases something else along with him and says, 'I purchase from you this item and your slave for such and such amount.' If he is unable to obtain the slave, then the payment he made will apply to what he has purchased from him."
