Hazrat Abu Asid's freed slave, Hazrat Abu Saeed, says that when I got married, I was a slave. I invited a group of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 's companions. Among them were Hazrat Ibn Masood, Hazrat Abu Dharr, and Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with them). When the time for prayer came, Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to step forward, but the companions said to him, "You go ahead," and asked me to lead the prayer. I was a slave, yet I led the prayer. Then they said to me, "When you go to your wife, perform two rak'ahs of prayer, then ask Allah for goodness and seek refuge from evil. Then engage with your wife."
