اشْتَرَيْتُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ بِهَا هَذَا الْحَبَلُ قَالَ أَ قَرِبْتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ بِمَا اسْتَحَقَّ الْعِتْقَ قَالَ لِأَنَّ نُطْفَتَكَ غَذَّتْ سَمْعَهُ وَ بَصَرَهُ وَ لَحْمَهُ وَ دَمَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> went over to a man from the Helpers, and there was a mother with a large belly arguing. So he<sup>saww</sup> asked about her, so he said, ‘I bought her, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and with her was this pregnancy’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Did you go near her?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Emancipate whatever is in her belly’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, with what is the emancipation deserved?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Because your seed nourished his hearing, and his vision, and his flesh, and his blood’.
