حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ بَاعَ عَبْدًا وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ لِلْبَائِعِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ وَمَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلًا مُؤَبَّرًا فَالثَّمَرَةُ لِلْبَائِعِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4552
It was narrated from Saalim, from his father, from the Prophet (PBUH) who said: "Whoever sells a slave, his property belongs to the one who sold him, unless the buyer stipulated otherwise. And whoever sells a pollinated palm tree, the crop belongs to the one who sold it, unless the buyer stipulated otherwise."
