Narrated Abu Huraira: When I came to the Prophet said on my way, O what a long tedious tiresome night; nevertheless, it has rescued me from the place of Heathenism. A slave of mine ran away on the way. When I reached the Prophet I gave him the oath of allegiance (for Islam), and while I was sitting with him, suddenly the slave appeared. The Prophet said to me. O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave, I said, He (i.e. the slave) is (free) for Allah's Sake, and manumitted him.
