حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الصَّوَّافِ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، جَارِيَةٌ لِي صَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً ، فَعَظَّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَفَلَا أُعْتِقُهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : ائْتِنِي بِهَا ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِهَا ، قَالَ : أَيْنَ اللَّهُ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : فِي السَّمَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَنْ أَنَا ؟ ، قَالَتْ : أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَعْتِقْهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ " .
Narrated Muawiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami: I said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave girl whom I slapped. This grieved the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said to him: Should I not emancipate her? He said: Bring her to me. He said: Then I brought her. He asked: Where is Allah ? She replied: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Emancipate her, she is a believer.

Benefits and Issues:
When, as expiation for a single slap, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded the emancipation of this slave-girl on account of her being a believer, then it is even more appropriate in other expiations that the slave-girl or slave should be a person of faith.
