3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً مُدْرِكَةً وَلَمْ تَحِضْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى مَضَى لِذَلِكَ سِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَلَيْسَ بِهَا حَبَلٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مِثْلُهَا تَحِيضُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِبَرٍ فَهَذَا عَيْبٌ تُرَدُّ مِنْهُ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from Dawud ibn Farqad who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who buys a slave-girl who possesses awareness but does not experience Hayd (menses) while in his possession until six months and she is not pregnant. He (the Imam) said, ‘If slave-girls similar to her experience Hayd (menses) and it is not because of old age, it is a defect and a reason to revoke the contract of sale?”
