A slave of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a Christian, says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say to me: O Wasq! Accept Islam. If you accept Islam, I will appoint you over some affairs of the Muslims, because only one who is upon their religion can be put in charge of their affairs. But I refused, so he said: “There is no compulsion in religion.” Then, when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he set me free.
