Hazrat Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: A slave girl ran away from one city to another city, and went to a certain people and presented herself as free. One man became interested in her, liked her, married her, and had some children with her. Later it was discovered that she was actually a slave girl and her master also arrived. Can the master take the slave girl away? He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: The master will take his slave girl away, and for the father of her children, there will be a slave or slave girl (he will be given a slave or slave girl).
