حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَطَائٍ وَإِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبِيعَ بِسَبْعِ مِائَةِ أَوْ بِتِسْعِ مِائَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3955
Jabir bin Abdullah said: A man declared that his slave would be free after his death, but he had no other property. So the Prophet ﷺ ordered (to sell him). He was then sold for seven hundred or nine hundred (dirhams).
