Abdul-Razzaq (13211) narrated it, and from him Ahmad (14446), Ibn Majah (2517), Ibn Hibban (4323), Daraqutni (4/135), and Bayhaqi (10/348), all of them from Ibn Jurayj, who said, Abu Zubayr told me that he heard Jabir bin Abdullah say what he mentioned. Its isnad is sahih.Abu Dawud (3950) narrated it through another route, from Ataa, from Jabir bin Abdullah, who said, "We used to sell the mothers of our children during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. Then when Umar came, he forbade us, and we stopped." Hakim (2/19) said, "Sahih according to the criterion of Muslim."On this subject there is also what was narrated from Abu Saeed, who said, "We used to sell the mothers of our children during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Ahmad (11164), Daraqutni (4/135–136), Hakim (2/19), and Bayhaqi (10/348) narrated it, all of them through Shuba, from Zayd bin Hawari, who said, I heard Abu Siddiq narrate from Abu Saeed Khudri, and he mentioned it. Zayd bin Hawari is Ammi Basri, whose father's name was Murra, and he is daif by the agreement of the scholars. Nevertheless, Hakim said, its isnad is sahih.This is the correct view, that the mother of a child (the woman who bore a child to her master while under his ownership) used to be sold during the time of the Prophet ﷺ.As for what Abu Dawud (3953) narrated, he said, Abdullah bin Muhammad Nufayli told us, Muhammad bin Salama told us, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Khattab bin Salih, a client of the Ansar, from his mother, from Salama bint Maqil, a woman from Kharija of Qays Aylan, who said, "My uncle brought me during the Jahiliyyah and sold me to Hubab bin Amr, the brother of Abu Yusr bin Amr. I bore him Abdul-Rahman bin Hubab, and then he died. His wife said, 'Now, by Allah, you will be sold to settle his debt.' So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman from Kharija of Qays Aylan. My uncle brought me to Madinah during the Jahiliyyah and sold me to Hubab bin Amr, the brother of Abu Yusr bin Amr. I bore him Abdul-Rahman bin Hubab.' His wife said, 'Now, by Allah, you will be sold to settle his debt.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is Hubab's guardian?" It was said, "His brother, Abu Yusr bin Amr." So he sent for him and said, "Free her, and if you hear that captives have come to me, come to me and I will compensate you for her." She said, "So they freed me, and captives came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he compensated them for me with a slave boy."This is not sahih. It contains Muhammad bin Ishaq, who is known for obscuring his sources, and he narrated it using the ambiguous "an" formula, and Khattab's mother is "unknown, not identified."As for what was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar, that the Prophet ﷺ "forbade the sale of the mothers of children, they are not to be sold, nor given as gifts, nor inherited, her master may enjoy her as long as he lives, and when he dies, she is free," the correct view is that this is the statement of a companion, not something raised to the Prophet. Daraqutni (4/135) narrated it from Abu Bakr Shafii, who said, Haytham bin Muhammad bin Khalaf told us, Abdullah bin Mutii told us, Abdullah bin Jafar, meaning Makhzumi, told us, Abdullah bin Dinar told us, from Ibn Umar, and he mentioned it.It was criticized because of Abdullah bin Jafar Madini, the father of the well-known imam Ali bin Madini, for all his narrations from Abdullah bin Dinar are unreliable, as Ibn Adi said in his biographical entry on him, and this is one of them.As for Daraqutni's statement "Makhzumi", it appears to be an error in his copy, for he mentioned him in his book Ilal (2/42), where he said, "Abdullah bin Jafar Madini," and he considered it more likely to be attributed only to Umar bin Khattab.He then narrated it in his Sunan through another route, from Yahya bin Ishaq, who said, Abdul-Aziz bin Muslim told us, from Abdullah bin Dinar, from Abdullah bin Umar, from Umar, similarly, without it being raised to the Prophet. Fulayh bin Sulayman likewise narrated it from Abdullah bin Dinar. Bayhaqi likewise narrated it through the narration of Sulayman bin Bilal and Sufyan, from Abdullah bin Dinar. Bayhaqi said, "This is how the group narrated it from Abdullah bin Dinar, but some of the narrators from Abdullah bin Dinar erred in it and raised it to the Prophet ﷺ, which is a mistake that should not be repeated."Abdul-Razzaq (13225) narrated with a sahih isnad from Ibn Umar, who said, "Umar ruled concerning the mothers of children that they are not to be sold."Likewise, what was narrated from Ibn Abbas is not sahih, that he said, "Umm Ibrahim was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, 'Her child has freed her.'" Ibn Majah (2516) narrated it from Ahmad bin Yusuf, who said, Abu Asim told us, who said, Abu Bakr, meaning Nahshali, told us, from Husayn bin Abdullah, from Ikrima, from Ibn Abbas, and he mentioned it. Its isnad is daif because of Husayn bin Abdullah bin Ubaydullah bin Abbas Hashimi Madani, who is daif by the agreement of the scholars. Bayhaqi (10/346) also narrated it through his route and said, "Most scholars of hadith have declared Husayn bin Abdullah daif."There are other hadiths with a similar meaning narrated by Daraqutni, Hakim, and Bayhaqi, but all of them are defective.
