2530. Narrated Qais: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When Abū Hurairah accompanied by his slave set out intending to embrace Islām they lost each other on the way. The slave then came while Abū Hurairah was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abū Hurairah! Your slave has come back." Abū Hurairah said, "Indeed, I would like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened at the time when Abū Hurairah recited (the following poetic verse): 'What a long tedious tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has delivered us from the land of Kufr (disbelief).'

2530 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ يُرِيدُ الإِسْلاَمَ، وَمَعَهُ غُلاَمُهُ ضَلَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ جَالِسٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا غُلاَمُكَ قَدْ أَتَاكَ»، فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّهُ حُرٌّ، قَالَ: فَهُوَ حِينَ يَقُولُ: [البحر الطويل] يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا ... عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الكُفْرِ نَجَّتِ
