حَدَّثَنَا مُهَنَّا بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ أَبِي: كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو شِبْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الشَّرِيدِ، أَنَّ أُمَّهُ أَوْصَتْ أَنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةٌ، (١) فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أُمِّي أَوْصَتْ أَنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ، وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَةٌ نُوبِيَّةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَقَالَ: " ادْعُ بِهَا ". فَجَاءَ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟ " قَالَتْ: اللهُ، قَالَ: " مَنْ أَنَا؟ " قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، قَالَ: " أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) that his mother advised him to free a Muslim slave on her behalf. He asked the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) about this, saying: "I have a slave woman from the Nubia region of Abyssinia. Can I free her?" The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Bring her to me." I brought her and she came. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) asked her: "Who is your Lord?" She replied: "Allah." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) asked: "Who am I?" She replied: "You are the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Free her, for she is a Muslim."
