Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from Mansur ibn Hazim who has said the following: “About the case of a man who bought a slave-girl and did sexual intercourse, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, Tf he found a defect, he could not return her but ask for what the defect had reduced from her price.’ I then asked, ‘Is this how Ali (a.s.), had judged?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, this is the way Ali (a.s.), had judged.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (19/243))
