English Translation

Waki' told us, al-Hakam ibn Atiyyah told us, from Abu al-Makhis al-Yashkuri, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say: It was said, "O Messenger of God, your freedman so-and-so has been martyred." He said, "No indeed — I saw him wearing a cloak he had misappropriated from the spoils on such-and-such a day."
