[Machine] A slave from the fortress of Taif descended and came to his master, saying: "O Messenger of Allah, return my son to me." He said, "Verily, when a slave embraces Islam before his master, he is not returned to him. But when the master embraces Islam and then the slave embraces Islam, he is returned to him."  

الطبراني:٧٩٧٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ

تَدَلَّى عَبْدٌ مِنْ حِصْنِ الطَّائِفِ فَجَاءَ مَوْلَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رُدَّ عَلَيَّ غُلَامِي فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ مَوْلَاهُ لَمْ يُرَدَّ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَسْلَمَ الْمَوْلَى ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ الْعَبْدُ دُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ»
