"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّهُ لمَّا أَقْبَلَ إِلى المدينة ضَلَّ مَعَهُ غُلامُه فتعسف (*) الليل أجمع لا يْدرِي أيْنَ يَذْهَبُ، فَقَالَ:

يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا ... عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الكُفْرِ نَجَتْ

فبينما هوَ جالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ غُلامُهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا هُرْيَرَة هَذَا غُلامك، قَالَ: فإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَّهُ للهِ - ﷻ-".

When Abu Huraira accompanied by his slave set out intending to embrace Islam they lost each other on the way. The slave then came while Abu Huraira was sitting with the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Huraira! Your slave has come back." Abu Huraira said, "Indeed, I would like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened at the time when Abu Huraira recited (the following poetic verse):-- 'What a long tedious tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has delivered us From the land of Kufr (disbelief).  

البخاري:٢٥٣٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ يُرِيدُ الإِسْلاَمَ وَمَعَهُ غُلاَمُهُ ضَلَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ جَالِسٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا غُلاَمُكَ قَدْ أَتَاكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّهُ حُرٌّ قَالَ فَهُوَ حِينَ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا عَلَى أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الْكُفْرِ نَجَّتِ
