Sunan Abi Dawud 3932 (Book 31, Hadith 7) #24222
Emancipation and Service to the Prophet

SUMMARY: Umm Salamah, a female companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), emancipated her slave Safinah and made a stipulation that she would serve the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for as long as she lived.

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin: Safinah said: I was a slave of Umm Salamah, and she said: I shall emancipate you, but I stipulate that you must serve the Messenger of Allah as long as you live. I said: Even if you do not make a stipulation, I shall not leave the Messenger of Allah . She then emancipated me and made the stipulation with me.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكًا لأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ أُعْتِقُكَ وَأَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَخْدُمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِشْتَ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ لَمْ تَشْتَرِطِي عَلَىَّ مَا فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِشْتُ فَأَعْتَقَتْنِي وَاشْتَرَطَتْ عَلَىَّ
