Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21448 — A man who wants to buy a slave woman

Mujahid said: I was passing with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) through a market of slave dealers. There some people had gathered around a slave woman, inspecting her. When they saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), they moved back and said, "Ibn Umar has come." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) went up to the slave woman, touched her, and said, "Where are the owners of this slave woman? She is only merchandise."
