hakim:2849my father

[Machine] "To me, Umm Salamah, I set you free and I stipulate that you serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for as long as you live." I said, "If you hadn't stipulated on me, I wouldn't have left the service of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as long as I live." He said, "So, she freed me and stipulated on me to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for as long as I live."  

الحاكم:٢٨٤٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانٍ حَدَّثَنِي سَفِينَةُ قَالَ قَالَتْ

لِي أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أُعْتِقُكَ وَأَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَخْدُمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا عِشْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ «لَوْ أَنَّكِ لَمْ تَشْتَرِطِي عَلَيَّ مَا فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا عِشْتُ» قَالَ «فَأَعْتَقَتْنِي وَاشْتَرَطَتْ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَخْدُمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا عِشْتُ»
