أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ، نا هُشَيْمٌ، أنا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: نا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبِّقِ الْهُذَلِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَبَعَثَتْ مَعَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ بِخَادِمٍ لَهَا تَخْدُمُهُ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَفَرِهِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ اسْتَكْرَهْتَهَا فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ وَعَلَيْكَ مِثْلُهَا لِمَوْلَاتِهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ طَاوَعَتْكَ فَهِيَ أَمَةٌ وَعَلَيْكَ مِثْلُهَا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Muhabbaq Hudhali رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "If a slave girl has been forced, then she is free and a slave girl like her should be given in compensation, and if she has done it willingly, then she remains a slave girl and compensation must be given."
Brief Explanation
Fiqhi Effect: No legal ruling can be derived from this hadith, because: the chain of narration is mursal (the link between al-Hasan and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is disconnected). The scholars of hadith have criticized the text and have pointed out problems in the narration: the relationship of the slave with the slave-girl, and the slave paying compensation? (Details are not provided.)
Imam Ibn Abi Hatim, in "al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil," has mentioned the narration of Hasan al-Basri from Salamah ibn al-Muhabbaq radi Allahu anhu, but has not explicitly stated that there was direct hearing (sama').
In Musnad Ahmad (Volume 4, Hadith 17836), Hasan al-Basri narrates from Salamah ibn al-Muhabbaq radi Allahu anhu, but even there, the clarification of direct hearing is not present.
Ibn Hajar, in Tahdhib al-Tahdhib, has only pointed out the narration, and has not said anything regarding the proof of direct hearing or disconnection.
Conclusion:
Although the time period of Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah and Salamah ibn al-Muhabbaq radi Allahu anhu overlaps, due to the absence of explicit mention of direct hearing, according to the scholars of hadith, their narration will be counted at the level of "mursal sahabi."
