حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ لَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهُ فَبَاعَهُ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ بِثَمَنِهِ إِلَيْهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7186
Narrated Jabir: The Prophet came to know that one of his companions had given the promise of freeing his slave after his death, but as he had no other property than that slave, the Prophet sold that slave for 800 dirhams and sent the price to him.
