Sunan Abu Dawood 3282

Narrated Mu'awiyah b. al-Hakam al-Sulami:
I said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave girl whom I slapped. This grieved the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said to him: Should I not emancipate her? He said: Bring her to me. He said: Then I brought her. He asked: Where is Allah ? She replied: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Emancipate her, she is a believer.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الصَّوَّافِ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَارِيَةٌ لِي صَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً . فَعَظَّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَفَلاَ أُعْتِقُهَا قَالَ : " ائْتِنِي بِهَا " . قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِهَا قَالَ : " أَيْنَ اللَّهُ " . قَالَتْ : فِي السَّمَاءِ . قَالَ : " مَنْ أَنَا " . قَالَتْ : أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ " .
