Chapter 95 | Buying Slaves, Finding Defects, Returnable and Non-Returnable

14- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً عَلَى أَنَّهَا عَذْرَاءُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهَا عَذْرَاءَ قَالَ يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِ فَضْلُ الْقِيمَةِ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ.

14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma’il ibn Marrar from Yunus who has narrated the following: “In the case of a man who buys a slave-girl that she is said to be a virgin but he does not find her to be as such, he (the Imam) , said, ’He (the seller) must return the difference of the price if he can verify that what he says is true.’”
