It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw some freed people of Abu Jahl in Paradise." Then, when Sayyiduna Ikrimah (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is that (person)."
