Sunan Ibn Majah 4177 (Book 37, Hadith 78) #33533
Kindness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Female Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was very kind and generous to the female slaves of Madinah, and would not take his hand away from theirs until their needs were met.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "If a female slave among the people of Al-Madinah were to take the hand of the Messenger of Allah , he would not take his hand away from hers until she had taken him wherever she wanted in Al-Madinah so that her needs may be met".
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، وَسَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الأَمَةُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَمَا يَنْزِعُ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهَا حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ بِهِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَاجَتِهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Helping others in need whenever possible

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the kindness and generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated that Anas bin Malik said that if a female slave in Madinah took hold of the hand of the Messenger of Allah, he would not take his hand away from hers until she had taken him wherever she wanted in Al-Madinah so that her needs may be met. This shows us how compassionate and caring he was towards those who were less fortunate than him. He did not hesitate to help them out even if it meant going out of his way for them. This teaches us an important lesson about being kind and generous towards others, no matter what their social status or financial situation may be. We should always strive to help those in need whenever we can, just as our beloved prophet did.
