عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّا جِيرَانُكَ وَحُلَفَاؤُكَ وَإِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ عَبِيدِنَا قَدْ أَتَوْكَ لَيْسَ بِهِمْ رَغْبَةٌ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَا رَغْبَةٌ فِي الْفِقْهِ إِنَّمَا فَرُّوا مِنْ ضِيَاعِنَا وَأَمْوَالِنَا فَارْدُدْهُمْ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ صَدَقُوا إِنَّهُمْ جِيرَانُكَ قَالَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ صَدَقُوا إِنَّهُمْ لَجِيرَانُكَ وَحُلَفَاؤُكَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that some men from the Quraysh came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad! We are your neighbors and allies. Some of our slaves, who have neither any interest in religion nor any inclination towards understanding, have come to you. These people have come merely by fleeing from among our families and wealth; please hand them over to us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): What do you say about this? He said: Their statement is correct; indeed, they are your neighbors. The blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): What do you say? He also said: Their statement is correct; these people are your neighbors and allies as well. Upon hearing this, the radiant face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed.
