[Machine] A man sold a slave girl belonging to his father while his father was absent. When his father returned, he refused to approve the sale as the buyer had already given birth to a child from her. They disputed the matter to Umar ibn al-Khattab, who ruled in favor of the man regarding his slave girl and ordered the buyer to take his purchase in full settlement. The father of the seller requested Umar to show mercy and spare his son. Umar then said to him, "And you, spare his son."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا بَاعَ جَارِيَةً لِأَبِيهِ وَأَبُوهُ غَائِبٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبَى أَبُوهُ أَنْ يُجِيزَ بَيْعَهُ وَقَدْ وَلَدَتْ مِنَ الْمُشْتَرِي فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَضَى لِلرَّجُلِ بِجَارِيَتِهِ وَأَمَرَ الْمُشْتَرِي أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بَيِّعَهُ بِالْخَلَاصِ فَلَزِمَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْبَائِعِ مُرْهُ فَلْيُخَلِّ عَنِ ابْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ؓ وَأَنْتَ فَخَلِّ عَنِ ابْنِهِ
