حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ مُوسَی فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ حَمَّادٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ مَلَکَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3949
Narrated Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ said: (The narrator Musa said in another place: From Samurah ibn Jundub as presumed by Hammad): If anyone gets possession of a relative who is within the prohibited degrees, that person becomes free. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Samurah from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain. Abu Dawud said: Only Hammad bin Salamah has transmitted this tradition and he had doubt in it.
