[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ came to realize that he had gone out during the year of the Conquest, and he informed him that he had found him ostracized during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab. So he took him, and said, "This was mentioned by an informant." When Umar saw me, he said, "Perhaps you have done something wrong to cause you to take this soul?" I said, "I found it lost, so I took it." The informant said, "Indeed, he is a righteous man." Umar said, "In that case, take him, for he is free and his loyalty belongs to you, and his provision is on us."
أَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَنْبُوذًا فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَأَخَذَهُ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَرِيفِيٌّ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي عُمَرُ قَالَ عَسَى الْغُوَيْرُ أَبْؤُسًا مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَخْذِكَ هَذِهِ النَّسَمَةَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَجَدْتُهَا ضَائِعَةً فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَ عَرِيفِيٌّ إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ وَلَكَ وَلَاؤُهُ وَعَلَيْنَا نَفَقَتُهُ
