حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، " أَنَّ عَبْدًا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَبَقَ، وَأَنَّ فَرَسًا لَهُ عَارَ، فَأَصَابَهُمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ، ثُمَّ غَنِمَهُمَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ، فَرُدَّا عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُمَا الْمَقَاسِمُ " . ¤
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed: A slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had run away, and there was a horse as well, so both of them were captured by the disbelievers. Then the Muslims found both of them among the spoils of war. So both were returned to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) before the distribution.
