Utbah narrated: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with a black female slave and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I owe the freeing of a believing slave. Will this one suffice?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: “Who is your Lord?” She said: “Allah is my Lord.” He said: “What is your religion?” She said: “Islam.” He said: “Who am I?” She said: “You are the Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Do you pray the five prayers and affirm what I have brought from Allah?” She said: “Yes.” So he patted her back and said: “Free her.” In another narration from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utbah ibn Mas‘ud, a man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with a black female slave of his and said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): “O Messenger of Allah, I owe the freeing of a believing slave. Shall I free this one?” 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 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “Do you believe in the resurrection after death?” She said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Then free her.” This is a mursal hadith, and a connected version with some of its meaning has already been mentioned.
