Sunan Abu Dawud 3435 — Regarding A Slave That Is Sold While He Has

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ بَاعَ عَبْدًا ، وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ ، لِلْبَائِعِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone buys a slave who possesses property, his property belongs to the seller unless the buyer makes a proviso.

Benefit:
That is, when selling, if something else is attached to the main item being sold, then it does not automatically transfer to the buyer. Such additional items belong to the previous owner. However, if it is agreed during the sale that the main item is being sold along with its additions, then these will belong to the buyer.
