3683. It was narrated that Ash-Sharīd bin Suwaid Ath-Thaqafi said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'My mother left a will saying that a slave should be freed on her behalf. I have a Nubian slave girl; will it suffice if I free her on her behalf?' He said: 'Bring her here.' The Prophet ﷺ said to her: 'Who is your Lord?' She said: 'Allāh.' He said: 'Who am I?' She said: 'The Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Set her free, for she is a believer.'" (Hasan)
3653 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ الشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أُمِّي أَوْصَتْ أَنْ تُعْتَقَ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةٌ، وَإِنَّ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةً نُوبِيَّةً أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أُعْتِقَهَا عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: «ائْتِنِي بِهَا»، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟» قَالَتْ: اللَّهُ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَنَا؟» قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَأَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ»
