"عَن أُسَّق قَالَ: كُنْتُ مملوكًا لعمرَ بنِ الخطابِ وأنا نصرانىٌّ، فكانَ يعرضُ علىَّ الإِسْلَامَ ويقولُ: إنَّكَ (إنْ) () أسلمتَ استعنتُ بكَ على أمانَتِى؛ فإِنَّه لَا يحلُّ لِى أَنْ أسْتَعينَ بِكَ على أمانة المسلمينَ ولستَ علَى دِينِهمْ، فأبيتُ عليه. فقالَ: لا إِكْرَاهَ في الدينِ، فلما حَضَرتْهُ الوفاةُ أعْتَقَنِى وأنا نصرانىٌّ وقالَ: اذهبْ حيثُ شئْتَ".

"Usaqq said: I was a slave of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and I was a Christian. He would offer me Islam and say: If you embrace Islam, I would seek your help with my trust, for it is not lawful for me to seek your help with the trust of the Muslims while you are not of their religion. I refused him. He said: There is no compulsion in religion. When his death approached, he freed me while I was still a Christian, and said: Go wherever you wish."
