When Huraira accompanied by his slave set out intending to embrace Islâm they lost each other on the way. The slave then came while Huraira was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Huraira ! Your slave has come back." Abu Huraira said, "Indeed, I would like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened at the time when Abu Huraira recited (the following poetic verse):-" What a long tedious tiresome night ! Nevertheless, it has delivered us from the land of Kufr (disbelief).'
