Zinba Abu Rawh found a slave-boy of his with a slave-girl of his, so he cut off the boy's nose and castrated him. The boy went to the Prophet ﷺ, who asked him, "Who did this to you?"He answered, "Zinba."The Prophet ﷺ summoned Zinba and asked him, "What drove you to do this?"Zinba replied, "His situation was such and such."The Prophet ﷺ then said to the slave, "Go, you are free."The slave asked, "Messenger of Allah, whose freedman am I then?"He answered, "The freedman of Allah and His Messenger."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted his care to the Muslims. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the man came to Abu Bakr and said, "The bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Abu Bakr said, "Yes, we will provide a regular allowance for you and your dependents." He continued the allowance for him until Abu Bakr died.When Umar became caliph, the man came to him and said, "The bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Umar said, "Yes. Where do you wish to go?"He replied, "Egypt."So Umar wrote to the governor of Egypt instructing him to grant the man a piece of land from which to live.
حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرني معمر أن ابن جريج أخبره عن عمرو بن شعيب عن أبيه
أن زنباعا أبا روح وجد غلاما له مع جارية له فجدع أنفه وجبه فأتى النبي ﷺ فقال من فعل هذا بك قال زنباع فدعاه النبي ﷺ فقال ما حملك على هذا فقال كان من أمره كذا وكذا فقال النبي ﷺ للعبد اذهب فأنت حر فقال يا رسول الله فمولى من أنا قال مولى الله ورسوله فأوصى به رسول الله ﷺ المسلمين قال فلما قبض رسول الله ﷺ جاء إلى أبي بكر فقال وصية رسول الله ﷺ قال نعم نجري عليك النفقة وعلى عيالك فأجراها عليه حتى قبض أبو بكر فلما استخلف عمر جاءه فقال وصية رسول الله ﷺ قال نعم أين تريد قال مصر فكتب عمر إلى صاحب مصر أن يعطيه أرضا يأكلها
