Abu Dawud (4519) and Ibn Majah (2680) both narrated it from the hadith of Abu Hamza the money changer, who said, "Amr bin Shuayb narrated to me with his chain of transmission," and he related it.Abu Dawud said, "The one who was freed, his name was Rawh bin Dinar, and the one who castrated him was Zinbaa." Abu Dawud said, "This Zinbaa, the father of Rawh, was the master of the slave."In its chain of transmission is Sawwar (with the waw doubled, ending in a raa) bin Dawud Muzani. Ahmad said of him, "A Basran shaykh, there is no harm in him." Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the reliable narrators.Mamar and Ibn Jurayj corroborated him, narrating from Amr bin Shuayb with his chain of transmission. Abdul-Razzaq (17932) narrated it from both of them, and Ahmad (6710) narrated it from Abdul-Razzaq, who said, "Mamar informed me that Ibn Jurayj informed him, from Amr bin Shuayb, from his father, from his grandfather." It seems that Mamar first narrated it from Ibn Jurayj, and then he was able to hear it directly from Amr, so he narrated it both ways, the two of them being contemporaries among the shaykhs of Abdul-Razzaq.In their version of the hadith, Zinbaa, the father of Rawh, found a slave boy of his with a slave girl of his, so he cut off his nose and castrated him. The slave came to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Who did this to you?" He said, "Zinbaa." The Prophet ﷺ summoned him and said, "What led you to do this?" He said, "Such and such happened." The Prophet ﷺ said to the slave, "Go, for you are free." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, whose ward am I then?" He said, "You are the ward of Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then entrusted him to the Muslims.He said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'The bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" He said, "Yes, we will provide for your maintenance and for your dependents." So he provided for him until Abu Bakr passed away. When Umar became caliph, he came to him and said, "The bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Yes, where do you wish to go?" He said, "Egypt." So Umar wrote to the governor of Egypt to give him land to live off.Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Amr bin Shuayb, for his hadith is hasan. Zinbaa at first fled out of fear of punishment, but when he learned that nothing was required of him except freeing him, he came to attend upon the Prophet ﷺ. His saying, "We will provide for your maintenance and for your dependents" indicates that he had children before he was castrated. His saying, "The ward of Allah and His Messenger" means that his patronage belonged to all the Muslims, and the patronage of his master was removed from him because of the injustice he had committed against him.On this subject there is also what was narrated from Ibn Abbas, who said, "A slave girl came to Umar bin Khattab and said..." and he related the hadith, in which Umar said, "Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No slave is to be executed in retaliation for his master, nor a father for his child,' I would have executed you in retaliation for her." So he had him brought out and flogged him a hundred lashes, and said to the slave girl, "Go, for you are free for the sake of Allah. You are the ward of Allah and His Messenger."Hakim (2/216) narrated it from the hadith of Umar bin Isa Qurashi, then Asadi, from Ibn Jurayj, from Ata bin Abu Rabah, from Ibn Abbas, who related it. Hakim said, "This hadith is sahih in its chain of transmission." Dhahabi responded to him by saying, "Rather, Umar bin Isa is one whose hadith is rejected." He gave his biography in Mizan (3/216), and mentioned this hadith among his rejected narrations. Bukhari said, "His hadith is rejected." Ibn Hibban said, "He narrates fabricated hadiths from reliable narrators."
