حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ ثنا 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 لِلْجَارِيَةِ «مَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالَتْ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ «فَمَنِ اللهُ؟» قَالَتْ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ»

✧ A slave-girl came tending sheep for me, and a wolf ate a sheep. I struck the slave-girl's face, then I regretted it and came to the Messenger of God ﷺ. I said: "O Messenger of God, if I knew she was a believer I would set her free." The Messenger of God ﷺ said to the slave-girl: "Who am I?" She said: "The Messenger of God." He said: "And who is God?" She said: "The One who is in the heaven." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Set her free, for she is a believer."
