Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7561 — A slave girl used to graze my goats. Once

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ ، نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ ، نَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : جَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي ، فَأَكَلَ الذِّئْبُ شَاةً ، فَضَرَبْتُ وَجْهَ الْجَارِيَةِ ، فَنَدِمْتُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ لَأَعْتَقْتُهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " مَنْ أَنَا ؟ I " قَالَتْ : رَسُولُ اللهِ ، قَالَ : I " فَمَنِ اللهُ ؟ I " قَالَتِ : الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَعْتِقْهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ إِلَّا حَاتِمٌ ، وَلَا عَنْ حَاتِمٍ إِلَّا دَاوُدُ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ ، وَلَا يُرْوَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ I " .
Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "A slave girl used to graze my goats. Once a wolf ate one of the goats, so I slapped the slave girl on her face. Then I felt remorse, so I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I knew that she was a believer, I would free her.'" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to the slave girl): "Who am I?" She said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "And who is Allah?" She said: "The One who is above the heaven." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free her, for she is a believer."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ibn Ajlan except Hatim, and no one narrated it from Hatim except Dawud al-Ja'fari; and it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
