Equality among children in gifts: Abu Hanifah said there is no harm in it

It is reported from Amr that he heard Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: A man of the Ansar made one of his slaves a mudabbar. This Ansari had no wealth other than this mudabbar, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sold this mudabbar, and al-Nahham bought him. He was a Coptic slave who died the previous year, during the rule of Ibn al-Zubayr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sold a mudabbar slave. It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: A mudabbar slave may not be sold.
