حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُهَاجِرِ بْنِ قُنْفُذٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا، مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ - قَالَ وَكِيعٌ كَانَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ - قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ مَوْلاَىَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِي مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ وَأُعْطِيتُ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ سَيْفًا فَكُنْتُ أَجُرُّهُ إِذَا تَقَلَّدْتُهُ ‏.‏

‘Umair, the freed slave of Aabi Lahm – Waki’ said; - “He used to not eat meat” – said:

“I fought alongside my master on the Day of Khaibar, and I was a slave. I was not given anything from the spoils of war but I was given from the least of the utensils (goods) a sword, which I dragged when I put it around my waist.”

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 2855).
