A Black Female Slave, Who Was The Scholar Of Hadith

Ibn Hiyan al Andulasi (377 h to 469 h) said:

وذكر إسحاق بن سلمة عن أحمد بن عبد الله الحبيبي عن جده قال: لما حج حبيب دحون اجتمع بمكة مع ابن عمه محمد بن يزيد بن سلمة، وكان مطمئناً ببلده بالشام بحال حسنة، فوهب له محمد جارية تسمى عابدة، وكانت سوداء حالكة من رقيق المدينة، وكانت تروى عن مالك بن أنس وغيره من العلماء شيوخها، فتسند عشرة آلاف حديث عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقدم بها دحون إلى الأندلس، وهو قد أعجب بعلمها وفهمها، فاتخذها لفراشه، فولدت له بشراً إبنه.

Abidah who was a Black slave, but she was a shining star as far as hadith is concern. When Muhammad bin Yazeed gave her to Habeeb bin al Waleed al Dahoon al Andalusi, Her knowledge influenced him so much that He freed her and they did nikah and bore a child, She went to Andulas with him where she narrated 10,000 ahadith of Prophet peace be upon him from Malik bin Anas and other Madni teachers.

(المقتبس من أنباء الأندلس لابن حیان القرطبی 228/1)

Imagine that she was one of the reasons that ahadith were circulated in Europe.
The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people..”
