أحمد:١٧١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

عَنْ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ خِدْمَتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا لَنَا مَاهِنٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي السَّبْيَ

الحاكم:٢٨٤٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْبَزَّازُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا أَبُو عَامِرٍ صَالِحُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَكَانَ سَعْدٌ مَمْلُوكًا لَهُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ خِدْمَتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ»
