2951. It was reported from Zaid bin Aslam, that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar entered upon Mu'āwiyah. He (Mu'āwiyah) said: "Tell me what you need O Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān!"

Arabic text

2951 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، دَخَلَ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالَ: حَاجَتَكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَقَالَ: عَطَاءُ الْمُحَرَّرِينَ، فَإِنِّي «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ مَا جَاءَهُ شَيْءٌ، بَدَأَ بِالْمُحَرَّرِينَ»
