6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of a man who marries the mother of the child of a man and her master dies. The deceased has a child from a woman other than his mother of the child; if the man who has married the mother of the child can marry the daughter of her master who has set her free so he will have both the daughter of the master who set her free and the slave-girl. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”
