[Machine] It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ went to Al-Baqi' and saw a man being sold. He approached him and bargained for him, then left him. Another man saw him and bought him, then set him free. He brought him to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have bought this man and set him free. What do you see in him?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "He is your brother and your freed slave." He asked, "What do you see in his companionship?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you show him gratitude, it is better for him and worse for you, and if you show him ingratitude, it is better for you and worse for him." He asked, "What do you see in his wealth?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If he dies and leaves no heirs, then you are his inheritor."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا يُبَاعُ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَاوَمَ بِهِ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ فَرَآهُ رَجُلٌ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَأَعْتَقَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ هَذَا فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ فَمَا تَرَى فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ «هُوَ أَخُوكَ وَمَوْلَاكَ» قَالَ مَا تَرَى فِي صُحْبَتِهِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنْ شَكَرَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَشَرٌّ لَكَ وَإِنْ كَفَرَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَشَرٌّ لَهُ» قَالَ مَا تَرَى فِي مَالِهِ؟ قَالَ «إِنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَصَبَةً فَأَنْتَ وَارِثُهُ»
