حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ مُوسَى فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ : عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ، فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، وَعَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ شَكَّ فِيهِ .
Narrated Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ said: (The narrator Musa said in another place: From Samurah ibn Jundub as presumed by Hammad): If anyone gets possession of a relative who is within the prohibited degrees, that person becomes free. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Samurah from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain. Abu Dawud said: Only Hammad bin Salamah has transmitted this tradition and he had doubt in it.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ There is a difference of opinion among the hadith scholars regarding the establishment of Hasan al-Basri’s hearing (sama‘) from Samurah ibn Jundub (radi Allahu anhu). However, this hadith is hasan (good), and according to some, sahih (authentic).
➋ The phrase “of a womb-relative who is a mahram” (dha rahimin mahramin) here refers to a deceased father, grandfather, and offspring and their descendants. As soon as ownership is established over them, they will automatically become free. However, there is a difference of opinion regarding other relatives.
