تْ مَرَّ بِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَنْتَظِرُ مَوْلًى لَنَا فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ عُثْمَانَ مَا يُقِيمُكِ هَاهُنَا فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَظِرُ مَوْلًى لَنَا فَقَالَ أَعْتَقْتُمُوهُ فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ أَعْتَقْتُمْ أَبَاهُ قُلْتُ لَا أَعْتَقْنَا جَدَّهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا مَوْلَاكُمْ بَلْ هَذَا أَخُوكُمْ .
Translation
Bakr Bin Muhammad, from Juweyria who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> passed by me, and I was in the Sacred Masjid, awaiting a slave of ours. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Umm Usman! What makes you stay over here?’ So I said, ‘I am awaiting a slave of ours’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Have you emancipated him?’ So I said, ‘No’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Have you emancipated his father?’ I said, ‘No. We emancipated his grandfather’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is not your slave, but this is your brother’.
