Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33724 — The foundling: to whom does his wala
٣٣٧٢٤ - حدثنا ابن عيينة عن الزهري سمع (١) أبا جميلة يقول: وجدت منبوذا على عهد عمر، (فذكره) (٢) عريفي لعمر فدعاني فسألني فأخبرته فقال: حر، وولاؤه لك وعلينا رضاعه (٣).
Sayyiduna Sunayn Abu Jamilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I found an abandoned child in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). My 'arif (clan overseer) mentioned it to Sayyiduna Umar, so he summoned me and questioned me, and I told him. Then he said: He is free, his wala' is yours, and the expense of nursing him is upon us.
