let me be honoured with presenting another beautiful part of the life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w
and that is:
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w Freer of Slaves
He will always be known as the savior of the slaves. He made
such rules so no slave could always be slave. He made sure that every slave get
his rights (actually there were no rights for slaves in that time they were
treated as animals, he made rules for them and made sure that they are being
applied, for example he said: do not put upon your slaves beyond their strength
and if you do so than help them out yourself. etc) and respectful place in the
society, in result they were freed, not freed only but most of them got high
status in the society, some of them got wealthy, some of them led Muslim troops
in battles some of them became scholars in
“Fiqqah” some of them became scholars in “Hadith” some of them became scholars in
“Tasawwuff” etc.
Hazrat Zaid bin Harisa r.a was a slave, got freed and went
on to led the Muslim troops while likes of Khalid bin waleed were also there.
Hazrat Salim bin Ma’qal r.a was a slave, was freed and
became one of those four companions of whom Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said If you
want to learn Qura’an, learn from them.
Among them is Muhammad bin seerin r.a he became a well known
scholar in “Hadith” and “Fiqqah”
Among them is Muhammad bin Ishaaq r.a he became a great
scholar in “History” and is a appreciated by masters in “history”. Etc
All of this is the result of the planning and teachings of
the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w . and this shows
his mental approach. He truly was the FREER OF SLAVES. May peace and blessings of Allah always be on him.
