ahmad:7096Maʿmar b. Sulaymān al-Raqqī > al-Ḥajjāj > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever resembles me or is burned with fire, then he is a freed slave and is a servant of Allah and His Messenger." He said: "A man named Sandar came and he had been castrated, so he set him free. Then he came to Abu Bakr after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he did good to him. Then he came to Umar after Abu Bakr, and he did good to him. Then, he wanted to go to Egypt, so Umar wrote to Amr ibn al-As to treat him well or to protect the will of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding him."  

أحمد:٧٠٩٦حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ أَوْ حُرِّقَ بِالنَّارِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ وَهُوَ مَوْلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ خُصِيَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَنْدَرٌ فَأَعْتَقَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ أَتَى عُمَرَ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَصَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى مِصْرَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُ عُمَرُ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي أَنِ اصْنَعْ بِهِ خَيْرًا أَوِ احْفَظْ وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِ
