Sahih Muslim · Hadith 4428

حدثنا أبو الربيع، سليمان بن داود العتكي حدثنا حماد، - يعني ابن زيد - عن عمرو بن دينار، عن جابر بن عبد الله، أن رجلا، من الأنصار أعتق غلاما له عن دبر لم يكن له مال غيره فبلغ ذلك النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ‏"‏ من يشتريه مني ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فاشتراه نعيم بن عبد الله بثمانمائة درهم فدفعها إليه ‏.‏ قال عمرو سمعت جابر بن عبد الله يقول عبدا قبطيا مات عام أول ‏.‏

Jabir b. 'Abdullah said that a person among the Ansar declared his slave free after his death, as he had no other property. This news reached the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he said: Who will buy him from me? And Nu'aim b. al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams and he handed them over to him, 'Amr (one of the narrators) said: I heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah as saying: He was a Coptic slave, and he died in the first year (of the Caliphate of 'Abdullah b. Zubair).
