أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُكَدِّمِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ لَمَّا حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَقِيقٌ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ وَكَانَ عَبْدًا لِلْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَلَدَةَ وَالْمُنْبَعِثُ وَيُحَنَّسُ وَوَرْدَانُ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِمْ فَأَسْلَمُوا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ وَفْدُ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمُوا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رُدَّ عَلَيْنَا رَقِيقَنَا الَّذِينَ أَتَوْكَ فَقَالَ لَا أُولَئِكَ عُتَقَاءُ اللهِ ﷻ وَرَدَّ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ وَلَاءَ عَبْدِهِ فَجَعَلَهُ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ
English Translation
Abdullah ibn al-Mukaddam al-Thaqafi narrated: When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) besieged the people of Ta'if, slaves came out to him, including Abu Bakrah who was a slave of al-Harith ibn Kaladah, and al-Munba'ith, and Yuhannas, and Wardan, among a group of their slaves. They accepted Islam. When the delegation of Ta'if came to the Messenger of Allah and accepted Islam, they said: O Messenger of Allah, return to us our slaves who came to you. He said: No, those are Allah's emancipated ones. He assigned the patronage of each slave to his former master. This narration is disconnected.
