أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ
كَانَتْ لِي غُنَيْمَةٌ تَرْعَاهَا جَارِيَةٌ لِي فِي قِبَلِ أُحُدٍ وَالْجَوَّانِيَّةِ فَاطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الذِّئْبُ مِنْهَا بِشَاةٍ وَأَنَا مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ آسَفُ كَمَا يَأْسَفُونَ فَصَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً فَعَظُمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَفَلَا أَعْتِقُهَا؟ قَالَ «ائْتِنِي بِهَا» فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ اللَّهُ؟ » قَالَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ «مَنْ أَنَا؟ » قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ»

✧ I had a small flock that a slave girl of mine pastured near Uḥud and al-Jawwāniyyah. One day I came upon her and the wolf had gone off with one of the sheep. I am one of the children of Adam; I feel regret as they feel regret, so I struck her a slap. That weighed heavily on me, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Should I not set her free?" He said, "Bring her to me." I brought her to him, and he said, "Where is Allah?" She said, "In the sky." He said, "Who am I?" She said, "You are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Set her free, for she is a believer."
