١٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِتْقِ
[Machine] "That I should free both of them, so I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'Start with the boy before the girl.' And Muhammad ibn Bashshar said in his narration that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'If you free them both, then start with the man before the woman.'"
أَنْ أُعْتِقَهُمَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ابْدَئِي بِالْغُلَامِ قَبْلَ الْجَارِيَةِ» وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنْ أَعْتَقْتِهِمَا فَابْدَئِي بِالرَّجُلِ قَبْلَ الْمَرْأَةِ»
[Machine] He told him that men from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any slave woman who is freed is considered among the best as long as she is not touched by her husband."
أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثُوهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَيُّمَا أَمَةٍ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ فَعَتَقَتْ فَهِيَ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَطَأْهَا زَوْجُهَا»
