قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ، فَأَعْلِمْنِي مَنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: وَكَانَ ؓ إِذَا بَعَثَ رَجُلًا فِي حَاجَةٍ يَقُولُ: إِذَا رَجَعْتَ فَأَعْلِمْنِي مَا بَعَثْتُكَ فِيهِ ؟ وَمَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَعْلَمَ مَنْ ذَاكَ، وَإِنَّهُ صُهَيْبٌ ؓ وَإِنَّ مَعَهُ أَمَةً، قَالَ ؓ: فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِنَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ أَمَةٌ

✧ I was with the Commander of the Believers, Umar ؓ. He said: Go, and inform me who that is? He said: And when he ؓ sent a man on an errand, he would say: When you return, inform me of what I sent you for, and what is brought back to me. So I said: You commanded me to inform you who that is, and it is Suhayb ؓ, and with him is a slave woman. He ؓ said: Let him join us, even if a slave woman is with him.
