Narrated Kuraib: the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas, that Maimuna bint Al-Harith told him that she manumitted a slave-girl without taking the permission of the Prophet. On the day when it was her turn to be with the Prophet, she said, Do you know, O Allah's Apostle, that I have manumitted my slave-girl? He said, Have you really? She replied in the affirmative. He said, You would have got more reward if you had given her (i.e. the slave-girl) to one of your maternal uncles.

When he returned he said, This (i.e. the Zakat) is for you and this has been given to my as a present.
