اُردوEn
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَعْتَقْتُ جَارِيَةً لِي فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِعِتْقِهَا فَقَالَ آجَرَكِ اللَّهُ أَمَّا أَنَّكِ لَوْ أَعْطَيْتِهَا أَخْوَالَكِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِكِ
It is narrated from the wife of the Prophet, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I freed one of my slave girls. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and I informed him about her emancipation, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah grant you reward, but if you had given this slave girl to your maternal uncles, this act would have been a cause of much greater reward for you.
