Sahih al-Bukhari 4200 (Book 64, Hadith 416)
has rescued me from the place of Heathenism.” A slave of mine ran away on the way. When I reached
the Prophet (ﷺ) I gave him the oath of allegiance (for Islam), and while I was sitting with him, suddenly
the slave appeared. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me. “O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave,” I said, “He (i.e. the
slave) is (free) for Allah’s Sake,” and manumitted him.
يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الْكُفْرِ نَجَّتِ
وَأَبَقَ غُلاَمٌ لِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَايَعْتُهُ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الْغُلاَمُ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا غُلاَمُكَ ”. فَقُلْتُ هُوَ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى. فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ.
