It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari companion named Abu Mazkoorah freed his slave named Yaqub after his own death, while he had no other wealth besides him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called for this slave and said: Who will buy him? Who will buy him? Sayyiduna Nu'aim bin Abdullah Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him), the father-in-law of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), bought him for eight hundred dirhams, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him to him and said: When a person is poor, he should begin by spending on himself; if any wealth remains, then he should spend on his family; if any remains after them, then on other relatives; and if there is still something left, then he may spend it here and there.

. (Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that in it: Amr said that Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yaqub was the name of this Coptic slave and he died in the first year (of the governorship of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man made one of his slaves a *mudabbar* (a slave who is to be freed after the master's death), while there was debt upon him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sold that slave in order to pay the owner's debt.

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, sold a mudabbar slave.

Umrah narrates that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) fell ill and her illness became prolonged. In Madinah Munawwarah, a physician arrived who did not have complete knowledge of medicine. Sayyida’s nephews went to him and mentioned her ailment. He said:“By Allah! From the condition you have described of this lady, it appears that magic has been done to her, and the magic has been done by her slave-girl.”When they questioned the slave-girl, she said:“Yes, I did magic. My intention was that Sayyida would pass away and I would become free.”In fact, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) had made this slave-girl a *mudabbara* (a slave promised freedom after the master’s death). Then Sayyida said:“Sell this slave-girl to a person who is the strictest with his slave-girls, and spend her price on a slave-girl of the same kind.”

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a slave has been contracted for manumission for one hundred uqiyahs and he has paid all except ten uqiyahs, he is still a slave.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The slave who has made a contract of manumission for one hundred uqiyahs and has paid the entire price except for ten uqiyahs, he will remain a slave; and the slave who has made a contract of manumission for one hundred dinars and has paid all the dinars except for ten dinars, he will remain a slave.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When any woman among you has a mukatab (contracted for freedom) slave, and he possesses enough wealth to pay his price, then that woman should observe veil from that slave.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A mukatab (contracted slave) will be given the blood money of a free man in proportion to the part he has been freed, and in proportion to the part he remains a slave, he will be given the blood money of a slave.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: A mukatab (contracted slave) will be given blood money in proportion to the amount he has paid.
