Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbub from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a man from al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) came to my father and said, ‘I am facing a huge problem. I have a slave-girl and I would go to bed with her.

One day I went to bed with her, then went out for a certain work after taking Ghusl (bath); but I had forgotten something so I returned back home and found my slave on her belly. I counted nine months from that day and she gave birth to a girl. My father said to him, ‘It is not proper for you to go close to her. Do not sell her.

Spend for her from your assets as long as you live, and make a will to spend for her after your death from your assets until Allah makes a way out thereof.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (23/249))
