حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ، نَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
جَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي، فَأَكَلَ الذِّئْبُ شَاةً، فَضَرَبْتُ وَجْهَ الْجَارِيَةِ، فَنَدِمْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ لَأَعْتَقْتُهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَنْ أَنَا ؟ " قَالَتْ: رَسُولُ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَمَنِ اللهُ ؟ " قَالَتِ: الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَعْتِقْهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ.

✧ A slave girl came tending sheep of mine, and a wolf ate a sheep, so I struck the slave girl's face. Then I regretted it and went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, if I knew that she was a believer, I would free her.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Who am I?' She said, 'The Messenger of God.' He said, 'Then who is God?' She said, 'The One who is in the heaven.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Free her, for she is a believer.'
