Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Salih who has said the following. “I had a female slave that had attracted my attention. I wrote to him (Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) requesting permission to have a child from her. The answer came, “You may do so but Allah does whatever He wants.” I went to bed with her and she became pregnant.

The fetus fell off prematurely and she died.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/199))
