Aslam (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that when Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah during Hajj, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to him. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: Abu Abdur Rahman! What is the matter? He said: My request is that you give a share to the freed slaves, because I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whenever anything came to him, he would begin with the freed slaves.
