Emancipation

ENGLISH

Jabir bin ·Abdullah (RAA) narrated that A man from the Ansar declared that his slave lad would be free after his death (would be Mudabbar), yet he had no other property. When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that he said, “Who will buy him from me?” And Nu'aim bin 'Abdullah bought him for eight hundred Dirhams. Agreed upon. In a narration by Al-Bukhari:

“The man became needy,’ (so the Prophet (ﷺ) took the slave and said...).’ A version by An-Nasa’i says, “The man had a debt, so the Prophet (ﷺ) sold the slave for eight hundred Dirhams and gave him the money and said, “Pay off your debt.”
