Dealings of ‘Amir al Mu’minin in regards to equitably among muslims

26. A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Zyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Aqabayy with an unbroken chain said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام gave a sermon, so he عليه الصلاة والسلام Praised Allah عز وجل and Extolled Him عز وجل, then said: ‘O you people! Surely, Adam عليه السلام did not give birth to a slave or a bondmaid, and that all of the people are free, but Allah عز وجل Made some to be in authority over the others. So the one who had an affliction and he bore it patiently in goodness so he should not consider by it as a favour to Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic. Indeed! There are things present and we have equality regarding it between the black and the red’. So Marwaan said to Talha and Al-Zubeyr, ‘He عليه الصلاة والسلام has not intended any by this other than the two of you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he عليه الصلاة والسلام gave each one of them three Dinars, and gave a man from the Helpers three Dinars, and afterwards a black boy came over so he عليه الصلاة والسلام gave him three Dinars’. So the Helper said, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام, this is a slave whom I freed yesterday. You عليه الصلاة والسلام have made me and him as equals’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘I عليه الصلاة والسلام looked in the Book of Allah عز وجل, I عليه الصلاة والسلام could not find any preference for the sons of Ismail عليه السلام over the sons of Is’haaq عليه السلام’.
