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.
