18. Emancipation of Slaves
١٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِتْقِ
[Machine] On the authority of Maymunah, the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ , it was narrated that the Prophet was asked about the child of adultery, and he said, "There is no good in him; he is like two sandals that I would strive or equip myself with, but it is dearer to me than to set free the child of adultery."
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ مَوْلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ سُئِلَ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا قَالَ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ نَعْلَانِ أُجَاهِدُ أَوْ قَالَ أُجَهِّزُ بِهِمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا
