[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ besieged the people of Ta'if, a slave from their slaves, Abu Bakra, went out to him. Abu Bakra was a servant of Al-Harith bin Kaladah and Al-Munbahith, as well as being a descendent of their slaves. They embraced Islam. When the delegation of the people of Ta'if arrived to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they embraced Islam, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, respond to us regarding our slaves who came to you." He replied, "They are freed by Allah." And he returned each slave to his master.  

لَمَّا حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَقِيقٌ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ وَكَانَ عَبْدًا لِلْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَلَدَةَ وَالْمُنْبَعِثُ وَيُحَنَّسُ وَوَرْدَانُ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِمْ فَأَسْلَمُوا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ وَفْدُ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمُوا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رُدَّ عَلَيْنَا رَقِيقَنَا الَّذِينَ أَتَوْكَ فَقَالَ لَا أُولَئِكَ عُتَقَاءُ اللهِ ﷻ وَرَدَّ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ وَلَاءَ عَبْدِهِ فَجَعَلَهُ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ
