Narrated Abu Huraira: On my way to the Prophet I was reciting:-- 'What a long tedious tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has saved us From the land of Kufr (disbelief).' I had a slave who ran away from me on the way. When I went to the Prophet and gave the pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam, the slave showed up while I was still with the Prophet who remarked, O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave! I said, I manumit him for Allah's Sake, and so I freed him.
