أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَتْ لِي جَارِيَةٌ فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ «آجَرَكِ اللهُ أَمَّا إِنَّكِ لَوْ كُنْتِ أَعْطَيْتِهَا أَخْوَالَكِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِكِ»

✧ I had a slave girl and I manumitted her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and I informed him. He said: "May Allah reward you. Indeed, if you had given her to your maternal uncles, it would have been a greater reward for you."
