Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا وَلَدَتْ أَمَةُ الرَّجُلِ مِنْهُ فَهِيَ مُعْتَقَةٌ عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهُ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ» . رَوَاهُ الدَّارِمِيُّ

Translation

Ibn Abbas reported from the Prophet that he said: ‘If a man’s slave woman bears him a child, she is emancipated after his death—or thereafter.’ Al-Darimi transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic preserves two alternative phrasings, after his death and thereafter. The English witness collapses these into at his death.
