I had a slave who ran away from me on theway. When I went to the Prophet ﷺ and gavethe Bai'a (pledge) for embracing Islām, theslave showed up while I was still with theProphet ﷺ who remarked, "O AbūHurairah! Here is your slave!" I said, "Imanumit him for Allāh's sake," and so Imanumitted him.

2531 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ: [البحر الطويل] يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا ... عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الكُفْرِ نَجَّتِ قَالَ: وَأَبَقَ مِنِّي غُلاَمٌ لِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَايَعْتُهُ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الغُلاَمُ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَذَا غُلاَمُكَ» فَقُلْتُ: هُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ، فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: لَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ حُرٌّ
