Hadith 4253
وَنا ابْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، نَا بُنْدَارٌ ، نَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، نَا شُعْبَةُ بِهَذَا ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَبِيعُ أُمَّهَاتِ الأَوْلادِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
The same narration is transmitted with another chain, however, in it are these words: "During the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to sell an 'umm walad' (a slave woman who had borne a child to her master)."
Hadith 4254
نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ النَّقَّاشُ ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، نَا مُصَرِّفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، نَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَفْرِيقِيِّ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، " أَعْتَقَ أُمَّهَاتِ الأَوْلادِ ، وَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَعْتَقَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Saeed bin Musayyib narrates: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) declared the umm walad slave women to be free. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stated this: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also declared them to be free.
Hadith 4255
نَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، نَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، نَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ السَّلُولِيُّ ، نَا عَبْدُ السَّلامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّالانِيِّ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ، " أَنَّهُ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ جَارِيَةٍ وَوَلَدِهَا ، فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَرَدَّ الْبَيْعَ " .
It is narrated about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Once he separated a slave girl and her child, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from this and annulled that transaction.
Hadith 4256
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، نَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، نَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، نَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، فَأَتَاهُ فَتًى مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ ابْنَةَ عَمٍّ لِي وَأَنَا وَلِيُّهَا أَعْتَقَتْ جَارِيَةً عَنْ دُبُرٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَالٌ غَيْرَهَا ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ : " فَلْتَأْخُذْ مِنْ رَحِمِهَا مَا دَامَتْ حَيَّةً " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ.
Sulaiman bin Yasar reports: Once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), when a young man from the Ansar came to him and said: I have a paternal cousin, for whom I am the guardian. She has freed her slave-girl as a mudabbar, and she (the cousin) has no wealth other than this slave-girl. So Sayyiduna Zaid said: As long as (your cousin) is alive, maintain ties of kinship with her. The narrator named Abu Bakr said: This hadith is "gharib" (rare).
Hadith 4257
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَالْمَيْمُونِيُّ ، قَالا : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، نَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " وَلَدُ الْمُدَبَّرَةِ يُعْتَقُونَ بِعِتْقِهَا ، وَيُرَقُّونَ بِرِقِّهَا " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The children of a mudabbara slave-woman will be considered free with her freedom and will be considered slaves with her slavery.
Hadith 4258
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، نَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْغَفَّارِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّ عَطَاءً ، وَطَاوُسًا يَقُولانِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ " فِي الَّذِي أَعْتَقَهُ مَوْلاهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ أَعْتَقَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ وَيَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ ، فَبَاعَهُ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ " ، قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ : شَهِدْتُ الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ جَابِرٍ : إِنَّمَا أَذِنَ فِي بَيْعِ خِدْمَتِهِ ، عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ ، ضَعِيفٌ ، وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، مُرْسَلا.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a man freed his slave; he had freed him as a mudabbar (a slave set free after the master's death). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that man to sell the slave and pay off his debt. Thus, that man sold the slave for eight hundred dirhams. The narrator named Abu Ja'far states: When Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this, I was also present there; he had permitted that his services could be sold. The narrator of this narration, 'Abd al-Ghaffar, is "weak"; other narrators have transmitted it as a "mursal" narration from the narrator named Abu Ja'far.
Hadith 4259
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، نَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : " بَاعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خِدْمَةَ الْمُدَبَّرَةِ " .
Abu Ja'far, the narrator (perhaps this is Imam Baqir, may Allah be pleased with him), reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sold the services of a mudabbirah slave woman.
Hadith 4260
نَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، نَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، نَا حَجَّاجٌ ، وَهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ، قَالا : نَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا بَاعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خِدْمَةَ الْمُدَبَّرَةِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ حَدِيثًا غَيْرَ هَذَا ، وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ فَإِنَّ حَدِيثَهُ مُرْسَلٌ.
A narrator named Abu Ja'far reports: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sold the services of a mudabbara slave woman. A narrator named Abu Bakr reports: This is the only hadith I could find on this matter, and although the narrator Abu Ja'far is trustworthy, his narration is "mursal" (disconnected).
Hadith 4261
نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، نَا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ ، نَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لا بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِ خَدَمَةِ الْمُدَبَّرِ إِذَا احْتَاجَ " ، هَذَا خَطَأٌ مِنِ ابْنِ طَرِيفٍ ، وَالصَّوَابُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، مُرْسَلا وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm in selling the services of a mudabbar, as long as he is in need." According to the narration transmitted by the narrator named Ibn Tareef, this narration is incorrect; the correct narration is that it was transmitted by the narrator named Abdul Malik from the narrator named Abu Ja'far as a "mursal" narration, and this narration has already been mentioned earlier.
Hadith 4262
نَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ، نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْمُقَوِّمُ ، ثنا سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، نَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَيْعِ الْمُدَبَّرِ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the sale of a mudabbar slave.
Hadith 4263
نَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَزَّازُ ، قَالا : نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ظَبْيَانَ ، نَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمُدَبَّرُ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The emancipation of a mudabbar (slave) will be from one third of the deceased's wealth."
Hadith 4264
نَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلاءِ الْكَاتِبُ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ ، قَالُوا : نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، نَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجَزَرِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الْمُدَبَّرُ لا يُبَاعُ ، وَلا يُوهَبُ ، وَهُوَ حُرٌّ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ " ، لَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ غَيْرُ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، مَوْقُوفٌ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A mudabbar slave cannot be sold, nor can he be gifted; he will be considered free from one third of the (deceased's) wealth." This narration has only been transmitted with a chain by the narrator named Ubaidah bin Hassan, and this narrator is weak. This narration is also reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) as a "mawquf" narration, that is, as his own statement.
Hadith 4265
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، " أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ بَيْعَ الْمُدَبَّرِ " ، هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ مَوْقُوفٌ ، وَمَا قَبْلَهُ لا يُثْبَتُ مَرْفُوعًا ، وَرُوَاتُهُ ضُعَفَاءُ.
It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): he considered it disliked to sell a mudabbar slave. This narration is authentic and it is "mawquf" (stopped at the Companion). The previous narration, which is transmitted as a "marfu'" (attributed to the Prophet) hadith, is not established and its narrators are weak.
Hadith 4266
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ، قَالُوا : نَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، نَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلا مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مُدَبَّرًا وَدَيْنًا ، " فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ فِي دَيْنِهِ " ، فَبَاعُوهُ بِثَمَانِمِائَةٍ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قَوْلُ شَرِيكٍ : إِنَّ رَجُلا مَاتَ خَطَأٌ مِنْهُ ، لأَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ : وَدَفَعَ ثَمَنَهُ إِلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : اقْضِ دَيْنَكَ كَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ سَيِّدًا لِمُدَبَّرٍ كَانَ حَيًّا يَوْمَ بَيْعِ الْمُدَبَّرِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once a man passed away, leaving behind a mudabbar slave and some debt. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his heirs to sell the mudabbar slave to pay off the debt, so they sold the slave for eight hundred (dirhams). The hadith scholar named Abu Bakr stated that the words in the narration, "a man passed away," are a mistake by the narrator, because other narrators have reported: (his master himself had freed the slave). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid the price of the slave to his master and said, "With this, pay off your debt." Similarly, other narrators have reported from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day the slave was sold, his master was alive.
Hadith 4267
نَا نَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، نَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، يَقُولُ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَمْرَةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَهُوَ أَبُو الرِّجَالِ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَصَابَهَا مَرَضٌ وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ بَنِي أَخِيهَا ذَكَرُوا شَكْوَاهَا لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الزُّطِّ يَتَطَبَّبُ ، وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتَذْكُرُونَ امْرَأَةً مَسْحُورَةً سَحَرَتْهَا جَارِيَةٌ لَهَا فِي حِجْرِ الْجَارِيَةِ الآنَ صَبِيُّ قَدْ بَالَ فِي حِجْرِهَا ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَتِ : " ادْعُوا لِي فُلانَةَ ، لَجَارِيَةٍ لَهَا ، فَقَالُوا فِي حِجْرِهَا فُلانٌ صَبِيُّ لَهُمْ قَدْ بَالَ فِي حِجْرِهَا ، فَقَالَتِ : ائْتُونِي بِهَا ، فَأُتِيَتْ بِهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : سَحَرْتِينِي ؟ ، قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَتْ : لِمَهْ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُعْتَقَ ، وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَعْتَقَتْهَا عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لا تُعْتَقِي أَبَدًا ، انْظُرُوا أَسْوَأَ الْعَرَبِ مَلَكَةً فَبِيعُوهَا مِنْهُمْ ، وَاشْتَرَتْ بِثَمَنِهَا جَارِيَةً فَأَعْتَقَتْهَا " .
It is narrated about Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once she fell ill, so one of her nephews mentioned her illness to a person from the "Zutt" tribe, who was a physician. That person said: The woman you are talking about has been bewitched, and this magic has been done by one of her slave girls, who at that time has a child in her lap, and that child had urinated in the lap of this woman. These nephews mentioned this to Sayyida Aisha, so Sayyida Aisha said: Bring that slave girl to me. She referred to one of her slave girls, and they said: She has a child in her lap, who had urinated in Sayyida Aisha's lap. So Sayyida Aisha said: Bring her to me. The slave girl was brought, and Sayyida Aisha asked: "Did you do magic on me?" She replied: Yes! Sayyida Aisha asked: "Why?" She replied: "I wanted you to set me free." So Sayyida Aisha freed the slave girl as a mudabbara (a slave who is set free after the owner's death), then Sayyida Aisha said: "Now, in the name of Allah, it is incumbent upon me that you can never be free." (Then she said to the people:) "Find such a person who is a very bad master and sell this slave girl to him." Then Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) bought another slave girl for the price and set her free.
