Bayhaqi 20044 — One who designates some of his wealth as charity

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَامِدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ بِهَا أنبأ زَاهِرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ السَّرَخْسِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، ثنا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ لَيْلَى بِنْتَ الْعَجْمَاءِ مَوْلَاتَهُ قَالَتْ: " هِيَ يَهُودِيَّةٌ، وَهِيَ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ، وَكُلُّ مَمْلُوكٍ مُحَرَّرٌ، وَكُلُّ مَالٍ لَهَا هَدْيٌ إِنْ لَمْ يُطَلِّقِ امْرَأَتَهُ، إِنْ لَمْ تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَكُمَا "، فَأَتَى زَيْنَبَ فَانْطَلَقَتْ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: " هَهُنَا هَارُوتُ، وَمَارُوتُ "، قَالَتْ: " قَدْ عَلِمَ اللهُ مَا قُلْتُ: " كُلُّ مَالٍ لِي هَدْيٌ، وَكُلُّ مَمْلُوكٍ لِي مُحَرَّرٌ، وَهِيَ يَهُودِيَّةٌ، وَهِيَ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ "، قَالَتْ: " خَلِّي بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَامْرَأَتِهِ "، قَالَ: " فَأَتَيْتُ حَفْصَةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهَا كَمَا قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ "، قَالَتْ: " خَلِّي بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَامْرَأَتِهِ "، فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، فَجَاءَ مَعِي، فَقَامَ بِالْبَابِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: " بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأَبُوكَ "، قَالَ: " أَمِنْ حِجَارَةٍ أَنْتِ؟ أَمْ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ؟ أَتَتْكِ زَيْنَبُ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْكِ حَفْصَةُ "، قَالَتْ: " قَدْ حَلَفْتُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا "، قَالَ: " كَفِّرِي عَنْ يَمِينِكِ، وَخَلِّي بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَامْرَأَتِهِ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " وَهَذَا فِي غَيْرِ الْعِتْقِ، فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ وَجْهٍ ⦗١١٤⦘ آخَرَ: " أَنَّ الْعِتَاقَ يَقَعُ "، وَكَذَلِكَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، وَكَأَنَّ الرَّاوِيَ قَصَّرَ بِنَقْلِهِ فِي رِوَايَةِ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا فِي الْوَقْتِ مَمْلُوكٌ، فَلَمْ يَتَعَرَّضُوا لَهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Bakr bin Abdullah al-Muzani narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that Layla bint al-Ajma', his mistress, said: "She is a Jew and she is a Christian, all her slaves are free, and all her wealth is a sacrificial offering (hady), if he does not divorce his wife and you two are not separated." So he went to Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), and she went with him. She said: "Are Harut and Marut here?" She (Layla) said: "Allah knows what I said: All my wealth is a sacrificial offering, all my slaves are free, and she is a Jew and she is a Christian." She (Zaynab) said: "Leave the man and his wife alone." He said: Then I went to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she sent word to her just as Zaynab had said: "Leave the man and his wife alone." Then I came to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both); he came with me and stood at the door. When he gave the greeting of peace, she said: "May my father be ransomed for you and for your father!" Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Are you made of stone or of iron? Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) came to you, and Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent word to you." She said: "I have sworn such and such." He said: "Expiate your oath, and leave the man and his wife alone."
Al-Shaykh said: This concerns what is other than freeing slaves, for it has been narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) through another chain that the freeing (of slaves) does take effect, and likewise from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). It seems the narrator fell short in conveying it in the narration of Bakr bin Abdullah, or she owned no slave at that time, so they did not address it. And Allah knows best.
