Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21914 — Selling a mudabbar slave

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that a man made a slave of his a mudabbar (one to be freed upon his master's death), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sold him to Sayyiduna Ibn al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him). He was a Coptic slave who died last year, during the emirate of Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him).
