In these next two episodes of Lives of The Khulafaa, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi covers the lives of some of the people who worked for the Prophet(S). Some people would refer to them as slaves, but in fact, they were freed by the Prophet(S) himself, but they still were willing to serve him. Looking at the books of history and Seerah, there were approximately 50 or so people who served him.
Now the question that often arises is that where did he acquire these people from.
Based on the Shaykh’s research, there has never been an instance where the Prophet(S) himself intentionally purchased or asked someone else to purchase a slave for his personal use. Though sometimes he did give money, but only to free them and let them go.
So where did all of them come from? The answer is that they were gifted to him throughout the course of his life. But who would do that? Anyone and everyone because at that time, one of the most expensive gifts you could give is a ‘Mawali’
