حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ خِدْمَتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا مَاهِنٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي السَّبْيَ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1717

It was narrated from al- Hasan concerning Saad, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, who used to serve the Prophet ((PBUH), that the Prophet (PBUH) liked his service and said: "O Abu Bakr, manumit Saad." He said: O Messenger of Allah, we have no helper except him. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Manumit Saad; other men are coming, other men are coming." Abu Dawood said: i.e., slaves.
