البيهقي:١٣٩٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خُمَيْرَوَيْهِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ أنبأ مَنْصُورٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ نِكَاحَ الْإِمَاءِ فِي زَمَانِهِ

وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا رُخِّصَ فِيهِنَّ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ طَوْلًا لِلْحُرَّةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالصَّوَابِ
