Shan e Bilal e Habshi

Hazrat Umar^ra was narrating the excellences of Hazrat Abu Bakr^ra. Whilst doing so, he pointed towards Hazrat Bilal^ra and said, “This is Bilal^ra, our leader.” He was mentioning the qualities of Hazrat Abu Bakr^ra and Hazrat Bilal^ra was also seated [in the gathering]. Hazrat Umar^ra pointed towards him and said, “This is Bilal^ra, our leader and he is an example of one of the pious deeds of Hazrat Abu Bakr^ra.” This is because he purchased Hazrat Bilal^ra and freed him from captivity. “Bilal will be granted one of the camels of paradise which he will be seated upon.”
