حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ جَائَ عَبْدٌ فَبَايَعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی الْهِجْرَةِ وَلَمْ يَشْعُرْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ عَبْدٌ فَجَائَ سَيِّدُهُ يُرِيزُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعْنِيهِ فَاشْتَرَاهُ بِعَبْدَيْنِ أَسْوَدَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُبَايِعْ أَحَدًا بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ حَتَّی يَسْأَلَهُ أَعَبْدٌ هُوَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2869
It was narrated that Jabir said: A slave came and gave his pledge to the Prophet pledging to emIgrate,. and the Prophet P.B.U.H did not realize that he was a slave. Then his master came looking for him, and the Prophet said: 'Sell him to me: and he bought him in exchange for two black slaves. Then after that he did not accept the pledge from anyone until he had asked whether he was a slave:' (Sahih)
