Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ق
َالَ مَنْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ أَوْ حُرِّقَ بِالنَّارِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ وَهُوَ مَوْلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ خُصِيَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَنْدَرٌ فَأَعْتَقَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ أَتَى عُمَرَ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَصَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى مِصْرَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُ عُمَرُ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنْ اصْنَعْ بِهِ خَيْرًا أَوْ احْفَظْ وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Ma'mar ibn Sulayman al-Raqqi, from al-Hajjaj, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather — from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'Whoever is mutilated [by his master] — or burned with fire — he is free and is the mawla [client/freedman] of Allah and His Messenger.' Then a man who had been castrated — called Sandar — was brought [to the Prophet ﷺ], and he freed him. Then [Sandar] came to Abu Bakr after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and [Abu Bakr] treated him with kindness. Then he came to 'Umar after Abu Bakr, and ['Umar] treated him with kindness. Then he wished to travel to Egypt, and 'Umar wrote to 'Amr ibn al-'As: 'Treat him with kindness and honor the bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning him.'
