Chapter 51: Gifts
Narrated Kuraib: the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, that Maimuna bint Al-Harith told him that she manumitted a slave-girl
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."
