Malik related to me from Hilal ibn Usama from Ata ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Hakam said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Messenger of Allah, a slave girl of mine was tending my sheep. I came to her and one of the sheep was lost. I asked her about it and she said that a wolf had eaten it, so I became angry and I am one of the children of Adam, so I struck her on the face. As it happens, I have to set a slave free, shall I free her?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ questioned her, 'Where is Allah?' She said, 'In heaven.' He said, 'Who am I?' She said, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Free her.' "  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ جَارِيَةً لِي كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي فَجِئْتُهَا وَقَدْ فُقِدَتْ شَاةٌ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَكَلَهَا الذِّئْبُ فَأَسِفْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَكُنْتُ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ فَلَطَمْتُ وَجْهَهَا وَعَلَىَّ رَقَبَةٌ أَفَأُعْتِقُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقْهَا  

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that one of the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a black slave- girl of his. He said, "Messenger of Allah, I must set a slave free who is a mumina. If you think that she is mumina, I will free her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ questioned her, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" She said, "Yes." "Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "Yes." "Are you certain about the rising after death?" She said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Free her."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجَارِيَةٍ لَهُ سَوْدَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَلَىَّ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَرَاهَا مُؤْمِنَةً أُعْتِقُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتُوقِنِينَ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقْهَا  

[Machine] And he (the man) said, "O Messenger of Allah, verily, there is a believing slave under my ownership. If you see her as a believer, I will free her." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Do you believe in the resurrection after death?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Free her."  

وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَرَى هَذِهِ مُؤْمِنَةً أَعْتَقْتُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَعْتِقْهَا  

[Machine] A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a black slave. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a believing slave. Should I free her?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who is your Lord?" She replied, "My Lord is Allah." He asked, "What is your religion?" She said, "Islam." He then asked, "Who am I?" She replied, "You are the Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then free her." Abdullah ibn Umar ibn Mas'ud witnessed this incident and heard it from the Prophet ﷺ . Al-Dhahabi omitted mentioning it in his summarization.  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَمَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً أَفَتُجْزِئُ عَنِّي هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟» قَالَتْ رَبِّي اللَّهُ قَالَ «فَمَا دِينُكِ؟» قَالَتِ الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ «فَمَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَتُصَلِّينَ الْخَمْسَ وَتُقِرِّينَ بِمَا جِئْتُ بِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَضَرَبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا وَقَالَ «أَعْتِقِيهَا» وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her, "Who is your Lord?" She replied, "Allah is my Lord." He asked her, "What is your religion?" She said, "Islam." He asked her, "Who am I?" She replied, "You are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said to her, "So pray the five daily prayers and believe in what I have brought from Allah." She said, "Yes." Then he slapped her on the back and said, "Free her."

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِجَارِيَةٍ لَهُ سَوْدَاءَ فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً أَفَأُعْتِقُ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتُوقِنِينَ بِالْبَعْثِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْتِقْهَا هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ مَضَى مَوْصُولًا بِبَعْضِ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ with a black slave woman and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a believing slave woman. If you consider her to be a believer, I will set her free." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" She said, "Yes." He asked her, "Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "Yes." He asked her, "Do you believe in the resurrection after death?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Set her free, for she is a believer." This narration has been mentioned regarding Awf ibn Abdullah ibn Utbah from Ubaidullah ibn Utbah from Abu Hurairah, and it has also been narrated regarding Awf from his father, from his grandfather, and it has been cited in the book of Az-Zuhar.
