‘Amir bin Wathilah reports that Nafi‘ bin ‘Abd al-Harith met Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) at the place of ‘Usfan. He had appointed him as the governor over Makkah. He asked:“Have you appointed anyone as governor over the people of the valley?”He replied:“Ibn Abza.”He asked:“Who is Ibn Abza?”He replied:“He is one of our freed slaves.”He said:“You have made a freed slave their leader?”He replied:“He is a reciter of the Qur’an and knowledgeable about the laws of inheritance.”Be aware! Your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Allah elevates some people by means of this Book and lowers others by it.”
