باب إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ رَقَبَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ:Chapter: If a Man Must Free a Believing Slave
Hadith 2385
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الشَّرِيدِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ عَلَى أُمِّي رَقَبَةً، وَإِنَّ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةً سَوْدَاءَ نُوبِيَّةً، أَفَتُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا ؟ . قَالَ: "ادْعُ بِهَا"، فَقَالَ: "أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ؟"، قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ . قَالَ: "أَعْتِقْهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ".
Sayyiduna Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that my mother (lady) has to offer expiation for freeing a slave, and I have a black Abyssinian slave-girl; will she suffice? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring her to me." When she came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you testify to «لا إله إلا اللّٰھ»?" She said: Yes. He said: "Go, set her free, for she is a believer."
