Favorism

[karim fattah]

Aisha had a slave-girl from that tribe, and the Prophet (?) said to `Aisha, "Manumit her as she is a descendant of Ishmael (the Prophet). Bukhari

How do we redpons to people thst muhammad saws was for favorism ans tbat just because she was from ishmael she cant be enslaved but if she wasnt she wouls be.

Jazakallah khair

[AhmadFarooq]

I might be wrong, but this looks more like an attempt to find an excuse, any excuse, to free the slave rather than favouritism.

If favouritism was indeed the intention, then such preferential statements should be visible in most or every other place Muslims are encouraged to free slaves, however, such is not the case.
