my intention was to give it in Sadaqah.’ The Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has accepted your Sadaqah.’ (Tafseer Khaazin, vol. 1, pp. 272)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم
Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ wrote to Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ to purchase and send a slave girl for him. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ thus sent a slave girl. Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ liked her very much. Thus, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ recited the complete verse ‘لَنۡ تَنَا لُو ا…’ and set her free in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
