Hadith about one who is born in Islam

alkafi-14879Vol. 8, p. 148

مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حُرّاً فَهُوَ عَرَبِيٌّ وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَهْدٌ فَخُفِرَ فِي عَهْدِهِ‌[1] فَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ طَوْعاً فَهُوَ مُهَاجِرٌ[2].

Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The one born in Al-Islam as a free person, so he is an Arab, and the one who had a treaty for him and he kept to it, so he is a slave of the Rasool Allah (saww), and the one who entered in Al-Islam willingly, so he is an emigrant’.
