Sahih al-Bukhari 2489 (Book 51, Hadith 26)
without taking the permission of the Prophet. On the day when it was her turn to be with the Prophet,
she said, “Do you know, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), that I have manumitted my slave-girl?” He said, “Have
you really?” She replied in the affirmative. He said, “You would have got more reward if you had
given her (i.e. the slave-girl) to one of your maternal uncles.”
وَقَالَ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ إِنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ أَعْتَقَتْ.
