463 – Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn narrated to me; Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us; Hishām ibn Ḥassān narrated to us, from ʿUmar ibn Kathīr ibn Aflah, from his father, who said:

“Muʿādh ibn ʿAfrāʾ emancipated one thousand souls from the slaves I had purchased for him, over and above those he would have others acquire on his behalf.” He added, “Others besides me used to buy for him as well.”
