"عن عمرو بن شُعيب، عن أبيه، عن جده: أنه كان لزنْباع (الجُذامى) غلامٌ يقال له سندَر، فَوجَدَه يُقبِّلُ جاريةً له فجَبَّهُ () وجَذعَ أذنيهِ وأنفَهُ فأتى سَنْدَرٌ إلى رسول اللَّه ﷺ فأرسل إلى زنباع فقال: لا تُحملوهم ما لا يُطيقون، وأطعموهم مما تأكلون وأكسوهم مما تلبَسون، فإن رضيتمُوهم فأمسكوهم وإن كرِهتموهم فَبيعوا، ولا تُعَذِّبوا خَلقَ اللَّه، ومن مُثِّل به، أو أحرق بالنار فهو حر، وهو مولَى اللَّه ورسوله، فأعتقَ سندر، فقال: أوْصِ بى يا رسول اللَّه! قال أُوص بك كل مسلم فلما توفى رسول اللَّه ﷺ أتى سندرٌ إلى أَبى بكر الصديق فقال له: احْفَظْ فىَّ وَصِيَّةَ رسول اللَّه ﷺ (فَأجرى عليه القوت حتى مات) فعاله أبو بكر: حتى توفى، ثم أتى عمر فقال (له): احفَظْ فىَّ وصيةَ النبى ﷺ فقال: نعم إن رضيت أن تقيمَ (عندى) أجْرَيْتُ عليك ما كان يجرى أبو بكر عليك وإلَّا فانظُر أىَّ المواضع (تختارُ) أكتب لك؟ فقال سندرِ: مِصْر فإنها أرضُ ريفٍ فكتب له عمر: إلى عمرو بن العاص: أما بعدُ، فإنَّ سندرًا قد توجه إليك فاحْفَظْ (فيه) وصية رسول اللَّه ﷺ (فلما قدِمَ على عمرو قطع له أرضًا واسعةً، ودارًا، فجعلَ سندر يعيشُ فيها) فلما ماتَ قبضت في مال اللَّه".

"From 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather: Zunbaa' al-Judhami had a servant called Sandar. He found him kissing one of his female slaves, so he castrated him, cut off his ears and his nose. Sandar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent for Zunbaa' and said: "Do not burden them with what they cannot bear, feed them from what you eat, clothe them from what you wear. If you are pleased with them, keep them, and if you dislike them, sell them. Do not torment the creation of Allah. Whoever is mutilated, or burned with fire, is free, and he is the client of Allah and His Messenger." So Sandar was freed. He said: "Make a bequest for me, O Messenger of Allah!" He said: "I bequeath you to every Muslim." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Sandar came to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and said to him: "Preserve for me the bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So Abu Bakr provided him with his sustenance until he died. Then he came to 'Umar and said to him: "Preserve for me the bequest of the Prophet ﷺ." He said: "Yes. If you are pleased to remain with me, I will provide you with what Abu Bakr provided you. Otherwise, choose which place you prefer, and I will write for you." Sandar said: "Egypt, for it is a land of fertile countryside." So 'Umar wrote to him: "Amr ibn al-'As: To proceed: Sandar has come to you, so preserve for him (the bequest) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When he came to 'Amr, he gave him a large piece of land and a house, and Sandar lived in them. When he died, I took it into the property of Allah."
