Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Abu al-Haytham ibn At-Tayhan: “Do you have a servant?” He said: “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When captives come to us, come to us.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) was brought two captives, Abu al-Haytham came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Choose one of them.” He said: “O Prophet of Allah, choose for me.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The one consulted is trusted. Take this one, for I saw him praying, and treat him well.”
