Hadith 4177

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ , وَسَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , قَالَ : إِنْ كَانَتِ الْأَمَةُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , " فَمَا يَنْزِعُ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهَا حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ بِهِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَاجَتِهَا " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` “If a female slave among the people of Al-Madinah were to take the hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he would not take his hand away from hers until she had taken him wherever she wanted in Al-Madinah so that her needs may be met.”
