أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السَّلَمِيِّ قَالَ
كَانَتْ لِي جَارِيَةٌ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي فِي قُبُلِ أُحُدٍ وَالْجَوَّانِيَّةِ فَاطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا اطِّلَاعَةً فَإِذَا الذِّئْبُ قَدْ أَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً وَأَنَا مِنْ بَنِي آدَمِ آسَفُ كَمَا يَأْسَفُونَ لَكِنِّي صَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَعَظُمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ قُلْتُ «أَلَا أَعْتِقُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟» قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَهَا «مَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ لَهَا «أَيْنَ اللهُ؟» قَالَتْ «فِي السَّمَاءِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ»

✧ I had a slave girl who tended sheep for me near Uhud and al-Jawwaniyyah. I looked at her once and saw that a wolf had taken a sheep from her. I am a human being and I get angry as they get angry, so I slapped her. Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. It seemed serious to me, so I said, 'Shall I free her, O Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet ﷺ said to her, 'Who am I?' She said, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' He said to her, 'Where is Allah?' She said, 'In the heaven.' Abu Abd al-Rahman said: In this hadith he said, 'Free her, for she is a believer,' but I did not understand it as I wanted.
