18. Emancipation of Slaves
١٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِتْقِ
[Machine] We had a slave from the Banu Muqarrin tribe, and a man from us slapped him. So, he complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was said to him that there was no other solution for him. So, he said, "Either I will continue serving them until they are independent of me."
كَانَ لَنَا بَنُو مُقَرِّنٍ مَمْلُوكٌ فَلَطَمَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ «إمَّا لَا لِيَخْدِمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهُ»
[Machine] There was a slave of the Banu Muqarrin. One of us slapped him, so he went to the Prophet ﷺ and complained to him. The Prophet ﷺ freed him. It was then said, "O Messenger of Allah, he does not have any other servant besides him." He said, "Let him serve them until they become independent of him."
كَانَ لِبَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ غُلَامٌ فَلَطَمَهُ بَعْضُنَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْتَقَهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ «لِيَخْدِمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهُ»
[Machine] We, the people of the Banu Muqarrin tribe, were seven individuals who had only one servant. One of us slapped her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Set her free." It was said that they did not have any other servants besides her, to which he said, "Let her serve them, and when they no longer need her, then set her free." This hadith has been narrated from another perspective that does not include this statement.
كُنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهَا» فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ «لِتَخْدِمْهُمْ فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا عَنْهَا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا» وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ هَذَا الْكَلَامُ
[Machine] "That the image is prohibited, I have seen myself as the seventh of seven brothers during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, we only had one male child, so one of us slapped him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to set him free."
أَنَّ الصَّورَةَ مُحَرَّمَةٌ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ إِخْوَةٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا لَنَا إِلَّا غُلَامٌ وَاحِدٌ فَلَطَمَهُ أَحَدُنَا «فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُعْتِقَهُ»
[Machine] Did you slap her? I saw that I was the seventh of my brothers with the Messenger of Allah, and we only had one servant, so one of us slapped her. So the Messenger of Allah commanded us to set her free.
لَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهَا؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ إِخْوَتِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا «فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْتَقْنَاهَا»
