باب الْوَلاَءِ:Chapter on wala' (loyalty/freed slave relationship)
Hadith 3039
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْمَوْلَى أَخٌ فِي الدِّينِ وَنِعْمَةٌ، أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِمِيرَاثِهِ أَقْرَبُهُمْ مِنْ الْمُعْتِقِ".
It is narrated from Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A freed slave is a religious brother and a brother who sets free, and the one most entitled to his inheritance is the one who is closest to the one who set him free." By «نعمة» is meant «صاحب المنه».
