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, then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I informed him about her emancipation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah grant you reward, but if you had given her to your maternal uncles, there would have been more reward for you in that.
