Hadith 1274
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."

It is narrated from ‘Ubaydullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah bin Mas‘ud that an Ansari man brought a black slave-girl to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: O Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace! It is obligatory upon me to free a believing slave. Should I free her? If you say that she is a believer, I will free her. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to the slave-girl: “Do you believe that there is no true god except Allah?” She replied: Yes. Then he said: “Do you believe that Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the Messenger of Allah?” She replied: Yes. He said: “Do you believe that you will be resurrected after death?” She replied: Yes. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Free her.”
