Bought Seven Slaves And Freed Them All

It is stated on page 509 of volume 28 of Fatawa Razawiyyah that the Leader of the Believers, Sayyiduna Siddiq Al-Akbar رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ bought seven slaves and then freed them. All of these slaves had been oppressed in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The following verse was revealed about him:

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾

But the most pious one shall be kept far away from it [the hellfire].

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 30, Surah Lail, Verse 17)

On page 512 it is written with reference to Imam Fakhruddin Razi رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ that there is an Ijma’ [consensus] of all of the Sunni Mufassirin [commentators on the Quran] that the word ‘Atqa’ in this verse refers to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ.
