عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ زِنْبَاعًا أَبَا رَوْحٍ وَجَدَ غُلَامًا لَهُ مَعَ جَارِيَةٍ لَهُ فَجَدَعَ أَنْفَهُ وَجَبَّهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا بِكَ قَالَ زِنْبَاعٌ فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْعَبْدِ اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَوْلَى مَنْ أَنَا قَالَ مَوْلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَأَوْصَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ وَصِيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ نُجْرِي عَلَيْكَ النَّفَقَةَ وَعَلَى عِيَالِكَ فَأَجْرَاهَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ وَصِيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ مِصْرَ فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى صَاحِبِ مِصْرَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ أَرْضًا يَأْكُلُهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Ruh Zinba’ found his slave with his slave-girl, so he cut off his nose and uprooted his testicles. When that slave came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who did this to you? He said: Zinba’ did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and said: What made you do this? He said: This and this happened with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the slave: Go, you are free. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Now whose slave am I? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are the slave of Allah and His Messenger. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advised the Muslims regarding him. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, this slave came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: The will of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Yes, all right, we will provide for you and your family, and then he arranged for his expenses. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph, he came to him and said: The will of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Where do you want to live? He said: In Egypt. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to the governor of Egypt to give this man so much land that his sustenance would be maintained from it.
