أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيِّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ: كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ: شَرَفٌ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَكَانَ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى حُمُرٍ لَهُ، حَتَّى أَدَّى خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، فَجَاءَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَقَالَ: مَجْنُونٌ أَنْتَ؟ أَنْتَ هَاهُنَا تُعَذِّبُ نَفْسَكَ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَشْتَرِي الرَّقِيقَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ثُمَّ يُعْتِقُهُمْ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ لَهُ: قَدْ عَجِزْتُ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ بِصَحِيفَتِهِ، ⦗٥٧٣⦘ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَدْ عَجِزْتُ، وَهَذِهِ صَحِيفَتِي فَامْحُهَا، فَقَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنْ امْحُهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ "، فَمَحَاهَا، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَا عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ "، قَالَ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، أَحْسِنْ إِلَى ابْنِيَّ، قَالَ: " هُمَا حُرَّانِ "، قَالَ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، أَحْسِنْ إِلَى أُمَّيْ وَوَلَدِيَّ، قَالَ: " هُمَا حُرَّتَانِ "، فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ خَمْسَتَهُمْ جَمِيعًا فِي مَقْعَدٍ..
Umar bin Muhammad bin Zayd bin Abdullah bin Umar narrates from his father that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) made a contract of manumission with one of his slaves, named Sharaf, for 40,000. He went to Kufah and worked there with donkeys, and he earned and paid 15,000. Then a man came to him and said: Are you mad? Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) buys slaves and frees them, while you have put yourself through torment. Go to him and tell him: I have become unable to pay. So he came, bringing his document with him, and said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! I have become unable to pay; this is my document, cancel it. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If you wish, erase it yourself; I will not erase it. So he erased it, and the eyes of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) filled with tears, and he said: Go, you are free. He said: May Allah grant you good, be kind to my sons as well. He said: They both are free too. He said: (Free) my mother and the mother of my children as well. He said: They both are free too. So he freed all five of them while sitting in one place.
