Chapter on Allegiance to Leaders and What Is Recommended for Them - On clarifying that allegiance is required from free people, not slaves
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4550 — on Allegiance to Leaders and What
أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنّ " عَبْدًا بَايَعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ ، فَأَتَاهُ سَيِّدُهُ يُرِيدُهُ ، قَالَ : فَاشْتَرَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَبْدَيْنِ أَسْوَدَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يُبَايعْ أَحَدًا عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ : " أَعْبُدٌ هُوَ ؟ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A slave pledged allegiance for migration at the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then his owner, searching for him, came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought that slave in exchange for two black slaves. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not accept the pledge of allegiance from anyone until he first inquired whether he was a slave.
