Al-Kafi 6200

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘They came to Rasool-Allah^saww with captives, so a man was brought forward for his neck to be struck off. So Jibraeel^as said to him^saww: ‘Delay this for the day, O Muhammad^saww!’. So he^saww returned him and brought out another one, until he was the last of them. So he^saww called for him for his neck to be struck off, but Jibraeel^as said to him^saww: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Your^saww Lord^azwj Conveys the Greetings to you^saww and is Saying to you^saww: “This captive of yours^saww tends to feed the food, and entertains the guests, and is patient upon the difficulties, and he carries the burdens (of others)’. So the Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Jibraeel^as informs me from Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, with regards to you with such and such, and I^saww have hereby emancipated (liberated) you’. So he said to him^saww, ‘Your^saww Lord^azwj Love this?’ So he^saww said: ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except for Allah^azwj, and you^saww are Rasool-Allah^saww; and by the One^azwj Who Sent you with the Truth, I shall not repel anyone from my wealth, ever!’’
