Safwan has narrated from al-‘Is ibn al-Qasim ibn Muhammad who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who buys a slave who has children from a free woman who has set him free. He (the Imam) said, ‘The guardianship of his children rests with one who has bought his freedom.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/257))
