Hadith 9
485- مالك عن هلال بن أسامة عن عطاء بن يسار عن عمر بن الحكم أنه قال: أتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: يا رسول الله إن جارية لي كانت ترعى غنما لي فجئتها وقد فقدت شاة من الغنم، فسألتها عنها فقالت: أكلها الذئب فأسفت عليها، وكنت من بني آدم فلطمت وجهها، وعلي رقبة أفأعتقها؟ فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”أين الله؟“ فقالت: فى السماء، قال لها: ”من أنا؟“ قالت: أنت رسول الله، قال: ”أعتقها“ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Hakam (may Allah be pleased with him) that I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a slave girl who used to tend my goats. When I came to her, one goat was missing. I asked her about it, and she said: A wolf ate it. I became angry with her, and I am from the children of Adam. So I slapped her on the face. It is obligatory upon me to free a slave; should I free her? Then (when he brought his slave girl), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the slave girl: "Where is Allah?" She said: "He is in the sky." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who am I?" She said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free her."
