Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A slave girl came to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "My master accused me, and he made me sit on fire, as a result of which my private part was burnt." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to that slave girl: "Did he see you doing anything?" She said: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did you confess any offence to him?" She replied: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Bring him to me." The man was brought to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you punish with the punishment of Allah?" He said: "O Commander of the Believers, I accused her regarding her chastity." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did you see her doing that?" He replied: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did she confess it to you?" The man replied: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, had I not heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'A slave will not be granted retaliation against his master, nor a child against his father,' I would have granted her retaliation against you." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) brought him out before the people and had him given one hundred lashes. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (said to the slave girl): "Go! You are free for the sake of Allah, and you are the freed woman of Allah and His Messenger. I bear witness that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever is burnt with fire or mutilated is free, and he is the freed man of Allah and His Messenger.'" (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: al-Tirmidhi recorded part of this narration.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Umar bin Isa al-Qurashi, whom al-Dhahabi mentioned in Mizan al-I'tidal; he cited this hadith under him, mentioned no criticism (jarh) of him, and left his entry blank. The rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
