حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ يَا لَيْلَةً مِنْ طُولِهَا وَعَنَائِهَا عَلَی أَنَّهَا مِنْ دَارَةِ الْکُفْرِ نَجَّتِ وَأَبَقَ غُلَامٌ لِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا غُلَامُکَ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ فَأَعْتَقْتُهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4394
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: We came to `Umar in a delegation (during his rule). He started calling the men one by one, calling each by his name. (As he did not call me early) I said to him. "Don't you know me, O chief of the Believers?" He said, "Yes, you embraced Islam when they (i.e. your people) disbelieved; you have come (to the Truth) when they ran away; you fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you recognized it (i.e. the Truth of Islam) when they denied it." On that, `Adi said, "I therefore don't care."
