حَدَّثَتْنِي عَمَّتِي قَالَتْ إِنِّي جَالِسَةٌ بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَلَمَّا رَآنِي مَالَ إِلَيَّ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ مَا يُجْلِسُكِ هَاهُنَا فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَظِرُ مَوْلًى لَنَا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لِي أَعْتَقْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُ لَا وَ لَكِنْ أَعْتَقْنَا أَبَاهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكِ مَوْلَاكُمْ هَذَا أَخُوكُمْ وَ ابْنُ عَمِّكُمْ إِنَّمَا الْمَوْلَى الَّذِي جَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةُ فَإِذَا جَرَتْ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَ جَدِّهِ فَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ وَ أَخُوكِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Suleym Al Farra, from Al Hassan Bin Muslim who said, ‘My maternal aunt narrated to me. She said, ‘I was seated by the courtyard of the Kabah, when Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> came over. So when he<sup>asws</sup> saw me, altered his<sup>asws</sup> course towards me. So he<sup>asws</sup> greeted me and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What makes you sit over here?’ So I said, ‘I am awaiting a slave of ours’. She said, ‘So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Emancipate him’. I said, ‘No, but we have emancipated his father’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is not your slave. This is your brother, and a son of your uncle. But rather, the slave is the one upon whom the bounty flowed. So when it flowed upon his father and his grandfather, so he is a son of your uncle, and your brother’.
