It is reported from him: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to instruct us regarding the slaves of a man or a woman who are for their personal use and whom they do not intend to sell: he used to order us not to pay anything as zakah on them; and he used to order us to pay zakah on the slaves who are kept for sale.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and Abu Dawud recorded this part of it: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order us to pay zakah only on those slaves whom we had kept ready for sale." There is weakness in the chain of this narration.
