Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الشَّرِيدِ أَنَّ أُمَّهُ أَوْصَتْ أَنْ يُعْتِقُوا عَنْهَا رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ نُوبِيَّةٌ فَأُعْتِقُهَا عَنْهَا فَقَالَ ائْتِ بِهَا فَدَعَوْتُهَا فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَنْ رَبُّكِ قَالَتْ اللَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Amr narrated to us, from Abu Salamah, from al-Sharid, that his mother had bequeathed that they free a believing slave on her behalf, so he asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about that. He said, "I have a black Nubian slave-girl; shall I free her on her behalf?" He said, "Bring her to me." So I called her, and she came, and he said to her, "Who is your Lord?" She said, "Allah." He said, "Who am I?" She said, "You are the Messenger of Allah." He said, "Free her, for she is a believer."
