و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو کَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ يُقَالُ لَهَا مُسَيْکَةُ وَأُخْرَی يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمَيْمَةُ فَکَانَ يُکْرِهُهُمَا عَلَی الزِّنَی فَشَکَتَا ذَلِکَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تُکْرِهُوا فَتَيَاتِکُمْ عَلَی الْبِغَائِ إِلَی قَوْلِهِ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7553
Jabir reported that 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul had two slave-girls; one was called Musaika and the other one was called Umaima and he compelled them to prostitution (for which'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul compelled them). They made a complaint about this to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and it was upon this that this verse was revealed: And compel not your slave-girls to prostitute up to the words: Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
