[Machine] A believer woman approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, asking him about it. He responded, "I have a servant girl who is black or from Nubia, should I free her?" He said, "Bring her to me." So, I called her and she came. He asked her, "Who is your lord?" She replied, "Allah." He asked her, "Who am I?" She said, "You are the Messenger of Allah." He then said, "Free her, for she is a believer."  

عَنْهَا رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ أَوْ نُوبِيَّةٌ فَأَعْتِقُهَا؟ فَقَالَ ائْتِ بِهَا فَدَعَوْتُهَا فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟ قَالَتْ اللهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَنَا؟ فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ  

“If one who can afford it delays repayment, his honor and punishment become permissible.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2427)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ عِرْضُهُ شِكَايَتُهُ وَعُقُوبَتُهُ حَبْسُهُ
