Question:
We are still with you, dear ladies and gentlemen, dear brothers and sisters, with His Eminence the scholar Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, regarding your written questions that reach me. Honorable Shaykh, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take the slave girl by the hand and she would take him wherever she wished; what is the lesson to be drawn from this? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The slave girl would take the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) by the hand and take him wherever she wished. This reflects the humility of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his eagerness to attend to the needs of the Muslims. By “slave girl” is meant a young slave girl who had not yet reached puberty.
