حَدَّثَنَا رَجَاءُ بْنُ الْمُرَجَّى السَّمَرْقَنْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَارِخًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا لَكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : سَيِّدِي رَآنِي أُقَبِّلُ جَارِيَةً لَهُ ، فَجَبَّ مَذَاكِيرِي ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ " ، فَطُلِبَ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ " ، قَالَ : عَلَى مَنْ نُصْرَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : يَقُولُ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَرَقَّنِي مَوْلَايَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُسْلِمٍ " .
´'Amr bin Shu'aib narrated from his father that his grandfather said:` “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) screaming. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: 'What is the matter with you?' He said: 'My master saw me kissing a slave woman of his, so he cut off my penis.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Take me to the man.' He was sought but could not be found, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Go, for you are free.' He said: 'Who will protect me, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? What if my master enslaves me again?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Your protection will be (incumbent upon) every believer or Muslim.'”
