حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ
وَكَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ خِدْمَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَنَا مَاهِنٌ غَيْرُهُ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَعْتِقْ سَعْدًا، أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ [أَتَتْكَ الرِّجَالُ]
