(مَسْأَلَةُ أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ فِي عَهْدِ السَّيِّدَيْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا)
(The matter of Umm Walad during the time of Sayyid Abu Bakr and Sayyid Umar, may Allah be pleased with them)
Mishkat al-Masabih 3395 — The matter of Umm Walad during the time
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: بِعْنَا أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ نَهَانَا عَنْهُ فَانْتَهَيْنَا. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Jabir said:In the time of God’s Messenger and of Abu Bakr we sold slave women who had borne children, but when ‘Umar was in power he forbade us to do so and we stopped. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
