اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ مَعْقِلٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا رَقَبَةٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَجَاءَ سَبْيٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ خَوْلَانَ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ مِنْهُمْ فَنَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ سَبْيٌ مِنْ مُضَرَ مِنْ بَنِي الْعَنْبَرِ فَأَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ مِنْهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she had to free a slave from the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). When prisoners from the Khaulān tribe of Yemen arrived, she wished to free one of those slaves, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her. Then, when prisoners from the tribe of Mudar of Banu Anbar arrived, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed her to free one of those prisoners.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Since Sayyidah Aishah radi Allahu anha had the obligation to free a slave from among the descendants of Isma'il alayhis salam, and freeing a slave from among the descendants of Isma'il alayhis salam is the most virtuous deed, therefore the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam guided her towards this matter.
