أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَالْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ جَارِيَةً لِي كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي فَجِئْتُهَا فَفَقَدْتُ شَاةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَكْلَهَا الذِّئْبُ فَأَسِفْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَكُنْتُ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ فَلَطَمْتُ وَجْهَهَا وَعَلِيُّ رَقَبَةٌ أَفأُعْتِقُهَا؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ اللهُ؟» قَالَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ «فَمَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْهَا»

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, a slave girl of mine used to tend some sheep of mine. I came to her and found that a sheep was missing from the flock. I asked her about it, and she said: The wolf ate it. I became angry with her, and I am one of the children of Adam, so I slapped her face. I have a duty to free a slave, so should I free her? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: “Where is Allah?” She said: In the sky. He said: “Who am I?” She said: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: “Free her.”
