Narrated Narrated Maimuna (RA), the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ):
A mouse fell into some ghee and died. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about it and he replied, "Throw it - and what is surrounding (touching) it - away and eat it (that which remained untouched)."
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: { أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا عَبْداً لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ. فَدَعَا بِهِ اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَبَاعَهُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه البخاري ( 2141 )، وأقرب ألفاظ البخاري للفظ الذي ذكره الحافظ فهو برقم ( 2534 ) و ( 7186 ) وأما لفظ مسلم ( 997 ) عن جابر قال: أعتق رجل من بني عذرة عبدا له عن دبر. فبلغ ذلك رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، فقال: " ألك مال غيره؟" فقال: لا. فقال: " من يشتريه مني "؟ فاشتراه نعيم بن عبد الله العدوي بثمانمائة درهم، فجاء بها رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، فدفعها إليه. ثم قال: " ابدأ بنفسك، فتصدق عليها. فإن فضل شيء فلأهلك. فإن فضل عن أهلك شيء فلذي قرابتك. فإن فضل عن ذي قرابتك شيء، فهكذا. وهكذا " يقول: فبين يديك، وعن يمينك، وعن شمالك قلت: وقوله: " عن دبر ": أي: علق عتقه بموته، كأن يقول: أنت حر بعد وفاتي.
Narrated Narrated:
A man among us declared that a slave belonging to him would be free after his death. However, he had no other property. So, the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for him (the slave) and sold him.
I was traveling on a camel of mine which had become exhausted, so I intended to let it go free. The Prophet (ﷺ) followed me and made supplication for me and struck it. Then, it went as it had never done before. He then said, "Sell it to me for on Uqiya." I replied, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me." So I sold it to him for one Uqiya. However I stipulated that I should be allowed to ride it home. Then when I reached (home), I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in cash. I then went back and he sent someone after me. (When I came), he said, "Do you think that I asked you to reduce the value of your camel's price to take it? Take your camel and your money, for it is yours."
