3953. It was narrated that Salāmah bint Ma'qil, a woman from (the tribe of) Khārijah Qais 'Ailān, said: "My paternal uncle arrived with me during the Jāhilīyyah, and he sold me to Al-Ḥubāb bin 'Amr, the brother of Abū Al-Yasar bin 'Amr, and I bore him 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥubāb, then he died. His wife said: 'Now, by Allāh, you will be sold to pay off his debts.' I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I am a woman from (the tribe of) Khārijah Qais 'Ailān. My paternal uncle brought me to Al-Maḍīnah during the Jāhilīyyah, and he sold me to Al-Ḥubāb bin 'Amr, the brother of Abū Al-Yasar bin 'Amr, and I bore him 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥubāb. His wife said: "Now, by Allāh, you will be sold to pay off his debts." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Who is the heir of Al-Ḥubāb?' It was said: 'His brother Abū Al-Yasar bin 'Amr.' He sent for him and said: 'Manumit her, then when you hear that slaves have been brought to me, come to me and I will compensate you for her.'" She said: "So they manumitted me, and some slaves were brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he gave them a slave to compensate them for me." (Da'if) [1] Plural of Umm Walad; mother of a boy or child, meaning the slave woman that bears a child to the one who owns her.

3953 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ خَطَّابِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ سَلَامَةَ بِنْتِ مَعْقِلٍ، - امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ خَارِجَةِ قَيْسِ عَيْلَانَ - قَالَتْ: قَدِمَ بِي عَمِّي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَبَاعَنِي مِنَ الْحُبَابِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَخِي أَبِي الْيُسْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، فَوَلَدْتُ لَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحُبَابِ، ثُمَّ هَلَكَ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ: الْآنَ وَاللَّهِ تُبَاعِينَ فِي دَيْنِهِ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَارِجَةِ قَيْسِ عَيْلَانَ، قَدِمَ بِي عَمِّي الْمَدِينَةَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَبَاعَنِي مِنَ الْحُبَابِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَخِي أَبِي الْيُسْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، فَوَلَدْتُ لَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحُبَابِ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ: الْآنَ وَاللَّهِ تُبَاعِينَ فِي دَيْنِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ وَلِيُّ الْحُبَابِ؟» قِيلَ: أَخُوهُ أَبُو الْيُسْرِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْتِقُوهَا، فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِرَقِيقٍ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ فَأْتُونِي أُعَوِّضْكُمْ مِنْهَا» قَالَتْ: فَأَعْتَقُونِي، وَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَقِيقٌ فَعَوَّضَهُمْ مِنِّي غُلَامًا
