حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ: (١)، [البحر الطويل]، يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا ... عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الْكُفْرِ نَجَّتِ،، ، قَالَ: وَأَبَقَ مِنِّي غُلَامٌ لِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ، إِذْ طَلَعَ الْغُلَامُ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَذَا غُلَامُكَ " قُلْتُ: هُوَ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when I set out to present myself before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), I kept reciting this verse along the way: "Even though this night is harsh and long, it is beloved. Because it has delivered me from the abode of disbelief." One of my slaves had run away from me on the way. When I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), I pledged allegiance at his blessed hand. While I was still sitting there, my slave arrived. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Abu Hurairah! Is this your slave?" I replied, "He is free in the way of Allah." Thus, I set him free.
