Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22359 — A man who restricts his slave's

It is narrated from Bakkar al-Itri (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man barred his slave from trading, and the matter was taken to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the owner: "Do you give him dirhams and send him to buy meat and the like?" He replied: "Yes." Hearing this, he gave that slave permission to trade.
