13. Chapter of Sīn (Male)
١٣۔ بَابُ السِّينِ
Safinah said: I was a slave of Umm Salamah, and she said: I shall emancipate you, but I stipulate that you must serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as long as you live. I said: Even if you do not make a stipulation, I shall not leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She then emancipated me and made the stipulation with me. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3932)
أَنْ تَخْدُمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا عِشْتَ» قُلْتُ لَوْ لَمْ تَشْتَرِطِي عَلَيَّ مَا فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا عِشْتُ فَأَعْتَقَتْنِي وَاشْتَرَطَتْ عَلَيَّ
[Machine] We were the Banu Muqarrin, seven in number, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We had a servant who was the only one we had. One of us hit her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Free her." I said, "We don't have any other servant besides her, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let her serve you until you become independent of her, then set her free."
كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنَا خَادِمٌ لَيْسَ لَنَا غَيْرُهَا فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهَا» فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَخْدُمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهَا ثُمَّ خَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا»
[Machine] We were seven of Bani Muqarrin during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and we had a servant who was the only one we had. One day, one of us slapped her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Set her free." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not have any other servant except her?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Let her serve you until you can do without her, then set her free."
كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنَا خَادِمٌ لَيْسَ لَنَا غَيْرُهَا فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهَا» فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَخْدُمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهَا ثُمَّ خَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا»
We were staying in the house of Suwaid b. Muqarrin. There was among us an old man who was hot-tempered. He had a slave-girl with him. He gave a slap on her face. I never saw Suwaid more angry than on that day. He said: there is no alternative for you except to free her. I was the seventh child in order of Muqarrin and we had only a female servant. The youngest of us gave a slap on her face. The prophet (May peace be upon him) commanded us to set her free. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5166)
«أَعَجَزَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا حُرُّ وَجْهِهَا؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ مُقَرِّنٍ وَمَا لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا خَادِمٌ فَلَطَمَ أَصْغَرُنَا وَجْهَهَا فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعِتْقِهَا»
[Machine] "You slapped her face. I saw myself as the seventh of seven. We have nothing except a servant. So a man slapped her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered us to set him free."
«لَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهَا لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَا لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ فَلَطَمَهُ رَجُلٌ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَعْتِقَهُ»
[Machine] "That the picture is forbidden. I saw myself as the seventh of seven brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We had no one but a servant, so one of us slapped him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to set him free."
أَنَّ الصُّورَةَ مُحَرَّمَةٌ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا سَابِعُ سَبْعَةِ إِخْوَةٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ فَلَطَمَهُ أَحَدُنَا فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَعْتِقَهُ»
