Popis: We develop a method to show that some (abstract) groups can be embedded into a free pro-$p$ group. In particular, we show that a finitely generated subgroup of a free $\mathbb Q$-group can be embedded into a free pro-$p$ group for almost all primes $p$. This solves an old problem raised by G. Baumslag: free $\mathbb Q$-groups are residually torsion-free nilpotent.
Comment: Referee comments are included. It is also shown that the Q-completion of a limit group is residually torsion-free nilpotent. Accepted to Annales scientifiques de l'\'Ecole normale sup\'erieure
