حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ دَخَلَ عَلَی مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ حَاجَتَکَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ عَطَائُ الْمُحَرَّرِينَ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ مَا جَائَهُ شَيْئٌ بَدَأَ بِالْمُحَرَّرِينَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2951
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Zayd ibn Aslam said: Abdullah ibn Umar entered upon Muawiyah. He asked: (Tell me) your need, Abu Abdur Rahman. He replied: Give (the spoils) to those who were set free, for I saw the first thing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did when anything came to him was to give something to those who had been set free.
