Bayhaqi 21773 — A man has intercourse with his slave woman by right

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ الْفَارِسِيُّ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْفَارِسِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِذْ سَمِعَ صَائِحَةً، فَقَالَ: " يَا يَرْفَأُ، انْظُرْ مَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ؟ فَانْطَلَقَ فَنَظَرَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ: جَارِيَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ تُبَاعُ أُمُّهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " ادْعُ"، أَوْ قَالَ: عَلَيَّ بِالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلَّا سَاعَةً حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتِ الدَّارُ وَالْحُجْرَةُ، قَالَ: فَحَمِدَ اللهَ عُمَرُ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَهَلْ تَعْلَمُونَهُ كَانَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقَطِيعَةُ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ فِيكُمْ فَاشِيَةً، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ}، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَأِيُّ قَطِيعَةٍ أَفْظَعُ مِنْ أَنْ تُبَاعَ أُمُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْكُمْ؟ وَقَدْ أَوْسَعَ اللهُ لَكُمْ"، قَالُوا: فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ، أَوْ مَا شِئْتَ، قَالَ: " فَكَتَبَ فِي الْآفَاقِ: " أَنْ لَا تُبَاعَ أُمُّ حُرٍّ، فَإِنَّهُ قَطِيعَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ".
Abdullah bin Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when suddenly he heard a woman crying out. He said: "O Yarfa', see what this noise is." He went and looked, then came and said: "A girl of Quraysh whose mother is being sold." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Call," or he said: "Call the Muhajirun and the Ansar." In a short while the house and the room were full. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) praised and glorified Allah, then said: "Do you know that cutting the ties of kinship was among the things that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) brought?" They said: "No." He said: "Yet it has become widespread among you." Then he recited this verse: "Then would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on the earth and sever your ties of kinship?" [Surah Muhammad: 22]
Then he said: "What severing of kinship is greater than that the mother of one of you should be sold, when Allah has given you ample means?" The people said: "Decide as you wish." So he had letters written to the regions that the mother of a free man is not to be sold, for that is severing the ties of kinship and it is not permissible.
