A man from the Ansar known as Abu Madhkur freed a slave of his named Yaqub, granting him freedom upon his own death, and he had no other property besides him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for the slave and said, "Who will buy him? Who will buy him?" Naeem bin Abdullah al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed the money to him.He said, "When one of you is poor, let him begin with himself. If there is anything left over, then on his dependents. If there is anything left over, then on his close relatives," or he said, "on his kin. And if there is anything left over, then here and there."
حدثنا إسماعيل أخبرنا أيوب عن أبي الزبير
أن رجلا من الأنصار يقال له أبو مذكور أعتق غلاما له يقال له يعقوب عن دبر لم يكن له مال غيره فدعا به رسول الله ﷺ فقال من يشتريه من يشتريه فاشتراه نعيم بن عبد الله النحام بثمان مائة درهم فدفعها إليه وقال إذا كان أحدكم فقيرا فليبدأ بنفسه وإن كان فضلا فعلى عياله وإن كان فضلا فعلى ذوي قرابته أو قال على ذوي رحمه وإن كان فضلا فهاهنا وهاهنا
Its isnad is sahih, its narrators are leading authorities. Ismail is Ibn Ibrahim bin Miqsam Ibn Ulaya. And Ayub is Ibn Abu Tamima Sakhtiyani.The hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, 3957, in the chapter on manumission, on the sale of the mudabbar, and by Nasai, 7/304, no. 4652, in the chapter on sales, on the sale of the mudabbar.We have already stated that the scholars differ about the sale of the mudabbar, and that the jurists' preferred position is that it is not permissible, based on other evidence. See Fath al-Bari, 4/421.
