"عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَاتَبَ عَبْدًا لَهُ يُكْنَى بأَبِى أُمَيَّةَ، فَجاءَ بِنَجْمِهِ حِينَ حَلَّ، فَقَالَ: اذهَبْ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهِ فِى مُكَاتَبَتِكَ، فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ: لَوْ تَركْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَ نَجْمٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّى أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أُدْرِكَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ: وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ نَجْمٍ أُدِّى فِى الإِسْلَامِ".

"'Ikrimah narrated that 'Umar made a contract of manumission with a slave of his called Abu Umayyah. When the installment came due, he came with it, and 'Umar said: 'Go and use it to help you with your manumission.' He said: 'O Commander of the Believers, if you left it until it is the last installment?' He said: 'I fear I will not live to see that.' Then he recited: {And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you} [al-Nur 24:33]. 'Ikrimah said: This was the first installment paid in Islam."
