Malik related to me that he had heard that al-Maqburi said that
Abu Hurayra was asked whether a man who had to free a slave, could
free an illegitimate child to fulfil that obligation. Abu Hurayra
said, "Yes. That will give satisfaction for him."

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah
ibn Utba ibn Masud that one of the Ansar came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a black slave-
girl of his. He said, "Messenger of Allah, I must set a slave free who
is a mumina. If you think that she is mumina, I will free her." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
questioned her, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" She
said, "Yes." "Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?"
She said, "Yes." "Are you certain about the rising after death?" She
said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Free her."
