Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

( مَا لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ ) لَفْظُ الْخَادِمِ يُطْلَقُ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ وَالْجَارِيَةِ. قَالَ فِي الْقَامُوسِ : خَدَمَهُ يَخْدِمُهُ وَيَخْدُمُهُ خِدْمَةً , فَهُوَ خَادِمٌ وَهِيَ خَادِمٌ وَخَادِمَةٌ ( فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُعْتِقَهَا ) فِيهِ حَثٌّ عَلَى الرِّفْقِ بِالْمَمَالِيكِ , وَأَجْمَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى أَنَّ عِتْقَهُ بِهَذَا لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ , وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَنْدُوبٌ كَفَّارَةُ ذَنْبِهِ فِيهِ وَإِزَالَةُ إِثْمِ ظُلْمِهِ قَالَهُ الطِّيبِيُّ. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ ) أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْهُ مَرْفُوعًا : " مَنْ ضَرَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ حَدًّا لَمْ يَأْتِهِ أَوْ لَطَمَهُ فَإِنَّ كَفَّارَتَهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ". ق…
