"عن يزيد بن أَبى حبيب، أنَّ غلامًا لزِنْباع الجُذامى اتهم، فأمر بإخصائه وجدع أنفهِ وأذنيه، فأتى رسول اللَّه ﷺ (فأعتقه فقال: أيما مملوك مُثِّلَ به فهو حُرٌّ، وهو مولى اللَّه ورسوله) فكان في المدينة عند رسول اللَّه ﷺ يرفق (به) فلما اشتد مرض رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال له ابن سندر: يا رسول اللَّه: إنا كما ترى فمن لنا بعدَك؟ فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ أوصى بك كلَّ مؤمن، فلما ولى عمرُ بن الخطاب أتاهُ ابن سندر فقال: احفظ فىَّ (وصية) رسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: انظر أى أجناد المسلمين شئتَ فالحقْ به، آمرُ لكَ بما يُصلِحكَ، فقال ابن سندر: ألحقُ بمصر، فكتَب له إِلى عمرو ابن العاص (أن يأمر له بأرضٍ تسعُه، فلم يزل فيما يسعه بمصر".

"On the authority of Yazid ibn Abi Habib, that a slave of Zinba' al-Judhami was accused, so he ordered that he be castrated and that his nose and ears be cut off. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (and he freed him and said: 'Any slave who is mutilated is free, and he is the client of Allah and His Messenger.') So he was in Medina with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, being treated kindly (by him). When the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew severe, Ibn Sundar said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are as you see; who will be for us after you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I have entrusted you to every believer.' When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab became ruler, Ibn Sundar came to him and said: 'Remember for me the charge of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: 'Look at which of the armies of the Muslims you wish and join it; I will order for you what will suit you.' Ibn Sundar said: 'I will join Egypt.' So he wrote for him to 'Amr ibn al-As (that he should order for him land sufficient for him), and he remained in what sufficed him in Egypt."
