حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَمِعَ جَابِرًا بَاعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدًا مُدَبَّرًا فَاشْتَرَاهُ ابْنُ النَّحَّامِ عَبْدًا قِبْطِيًّا مَاتَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فِي إِمْرَةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ دَبَّرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ
English Translation
Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Amr, who heard Jabir (رضي الله عنهما) [say]: the Prophet ﷺ sold a mudabbar slave, and Ibn al-Nahham bought him. He was a Coptic slave who died in the first year of the rule of Ibn al-Zubayr. A man from the Ansar had made him a mudabbar [i.e., promised him freedom after his master's death], but had no other property. So the Prophet ﷺ sold him.
