وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، أَنَّ مَوْلَاةً لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدَّثَتْهُ:
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهَا جَارِيَةً، وَأَنَّ تِلْكَ الْجَارِيَةَ وَلَدَتْ مِنْ زِنَا، وَأَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَعْتِقَ وَلَدَهَا، فَاسْتَأْمَرَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَأَنْ تَصَدَّقِي بِصَدَقَةٍ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ أَنْ تُعْتِقِيهَا، وَلَكِنِ اسْتَخْدِمِيهَا

✧ Indeed the Messenger of God ﷺ gave her a slave-girl, and that slave-girl gave birth as a result of fornication, and she wanted to manumit her child, so she consulted the Messenger of God ﷺ about that. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "To give charity with some charity is better for you than to manumit her, but you may employ her."
