حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
هِلَالِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ
عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ
عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ جَارِيَةً لِي كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي، فَجِئْتُهَا وَقَدْ فُقِدَتْ شَاةٌ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ، فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْهَا، فَقَالَتْ : أَكَلَهَا الذِّئْبُ . فَأَسِفْتُ عَلَيْهَا، وَكُنْتُ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ فَلَطَمْتُ وَجْهَهَا وَعَلَيَّ رَقَبَةٌ، أَفَأُعْتِقُهَا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" أَيْنَ اللَّهُ ؟ " فَقَالَتْ : فِي السَّمَاءِ . فَقَالَ : " مَنْ أَنَا ؟ " فَقَالَتْ : أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَعْتِقْهَا "
It is narrated from Hazrat Umar bin Hakam that I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon you! I have a slave girl who was grazing sheep. When I went there, I saw that one sheep was missing. I asked: Where is the sheep? She replied: A wolf has eaten it. I became angry, after all, I am a man, so I slapped her on the face. It is obligatory upon me to free a slave; should I free her? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked the slave girl: "Where is Allah, the Glorious and Majestic?" She replied: In the sky. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: "Who am I?" She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to that man: "Free her."
