بَابُ بَيْعِ الْخَادِمِ مِنَ الأعْرَابِChapter: Selling a Servant to the Bedouins
Hadith 162
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا دَبَّرَتْ أَمَةً لَهَا، فَاشْتَكَتْ عَائِشَةُ، فَسَأَلَ بَنُو أَخِيهَا طَبِيبًا مِنَ الزُّطِّ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ تُخْبِرُونِي عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مَسْحُورَةٍ، سَحَرَتْهَا أَمَةٌ لَهَا، فَأُخْبِرَتْ عَائِشَةُ، قَالَتْ: سَحَرْتِينِي؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَتْ: وَلِمَ؟ لاَ تَنْجَيْنَ أَبَدًا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: بِيعُوهَا مِنْ شَرِّ الْعَرَبِ مَلَكَةً.
It is narrated from Sayyida Umrah Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) set one of her slave girls free as a mudabbirah. Later, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) fell ill, so her nephews consulted a non-Arab physician about her condition. He said, "The woman you are talking about is under a spell; her slave girl has done magic on her." When Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was informed, she asked the slave girl, "Have you done magic on me?" She replied, "Yes!" Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked, "Why did you do this? Now you will never be freed from slavery." Then she said, "Sell her to that Arab tribe whose treatment of slaves is the worst."
