Sahih al-Bukhari 2431 (Book 49, Hadith 15)
saved us From the land of Kufr (disbelief).’ I had a slave who ran away from me on the way. When I
went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and gave the pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam, the slave showed up while
I was still with the Prophet (ﷺ) who remarked, “O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave!” I said, “I manumit
him for Allah’s Sake,” and so I freed him.
“ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَذَا غُلاَمُكَ ”. فَقُلْتُ هُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ. فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ. لَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ حُرٌّ.
