أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أُمِّي أَوْصَتْ أَنْ تُعْتَقَ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةٌ وَإِنَّ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةً نُوبِيَّةً أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أَعْتِقَهَا عَنْهَا قَالَ " ائْتِنِي بِهَا ". فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ رَبُّكِ ". قَالَتِ اللَّهُ. قَالَ " مَنْ أَنَا ". قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " فَأَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ ".
It was narrated that Ash-Sharid bin Suwaid Ath-Thaqafi said: I came to the Messenger of Allah and said, ‘My mother made a bequest that a slave be freed on her behalf. I have a Nubian slave girl; will it suffice if I free her on her behalf?’ He said, ‘Bring her to me.’ When I brought her, the Prophet asked her, ‘Who is your Lord?’ She replied, ‘Allah.’ He asked, ‘Who am I?’ She replied, ‘You are the Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Then free her, for she is a believer.’
