حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ لَيْثٍ صَاحِبُ الْکَرَابِيسِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي الْعَدَّائُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ أَلَا نُقْرِئُکَ کِتَابًا کَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَی فَأَخْرَجَ لِي کِتَابًا فَإِذَا فِيهِ هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَی الْعَدَّائُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْتَرَی مِنْهُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً لَا دَائَ وَلَا غَائِلَةَ وَلَا خِبْثَةَ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ لِلْمُسْلِمِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2251
It was narrated that 'Abdul.Majid bin Wahb said: "Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah said to me: 'Shall I not read to you a letter that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H wrote to me?' I said: 'Yes.' So he took out a letter. In it was: 'This is what 'Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah bought [from] Muhammad the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H. He bought from him a slave' – or – 'a female slave, having no ailments, nor being a runaway, nor having any malicious behavior. Sold by a Muslim to a Muslim:" (Hasan)
