Hadith 1616
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ دَبَّرَ غُلَامًا لَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ، فَبَاعَهُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاشْتَرَاهُ ابْنُ النَّحَّامِ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: عَبْدًا قِبْطِيًّا مَاتَ عَامَ أَوَّلَ فِي إِمَارَةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ.
Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: An Ansari made his slave a mudabbar (i.e., he willed that the slave would be freed after his death), and he had no other wealth besides him.
