Jami at-Tirmidhi 1153 (Book 12, Hadith 8) #26721
Removing Foster Relationship Responsibility with Ghurrah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that a Ghurrah, or a male or female slave, can remove the responsibility of foster relationship.

Hajjaj bin Hajjaj Al-Aslami narrated that His father asked the Prophet: "O Messenger of Allah! What will remove the responsibility of the foster relationship from me?" So he said: "A Ghurrah: a male slave or a female slave".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذَمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذَمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ ‏.‏ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِهِ ذِمَامَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَحَقَّهَا يَقُولُ إِذَا أَعْطَيْتَ الْمُرْضِعَةَ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ ذِمَامَهَا ‏.‏ وَيُرْوَى عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ إِذْ أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَبَسَطَ النَّبِيُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى قَعَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَتْ قِيلَ هِيَ كَانَتْ أَرْضَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ وَحَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَبِي حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رَوَى هَؤُلاَءِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ‏.‏ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ يُكْنَى أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَابْنَ عُمَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the responsibility of foster relationships in Islam. A foster relationship is when someone takes care of an orphaned child and provides them with love and support as if they were their own child. In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad was asked what would remove this responsibility from someone who has taken on such a role. He answered that it could be done by giving a ghurrah, which is either a male or female slave. This means that if someone cannot take care of an orphaned child anymore, they can give away one of their slaves to another person in order to free themselves from the responsibility of being a foster parent. This teaches us that we should not take on more than we can handle and should be honest about our capabilities when it comes to taking care of others. We should also remember to be generous and kind towards those who are less fortunate than us by helping them out whenever possible.
