Salim narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both): The following statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached him: "Whoever sells a date-palm tree after it has been pollinated, its fruit will belong to the seller, unless the buyer has stipulated otherwise (then the ruling is different). And whoever sells a slave who possesses property, that property will belong to the seller, unless the buyer has stipulated otherwise (then the ruling will be different)."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever sells a slave who possesses some wealth, then that wealth will go to the seller, and if that slave has taken some debt, then its payment will be upon the seller, except if the buyer has stipulated a condition (then the ruling will be different). And whoever grafts a date-palm tree and, after grafting, sells it, then the fruit of that tree will go to the seller, except if the buyer has stipulated a condition (then the ruling will be different)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to Madinah, people used to practice forward sales (salam). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to them: Whoever does a forward sale should do so with specified measure and specified weight. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Minhal is Abdul Rahman bin Mut’im.

Muhammad bin Abu Mujalid narrates: Abdullah bin Shaddad and Abu Burdah sent me, and both of them said to me: Go to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) and say to him: Abdullah bin Shaddad and Abu Burdah send you greetings of peace, and both of them have said: Did you people use to conduct Salam (advance payment) transactions in wheat, barley, and raisins? He replied: Yes, during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), we used to receive spoils of war, so we used to conduct Salam transactions in wheat, barley, dates, and raisins. I asked: Did you do it with the person who owned fields or with the one who did not own fields? He replied: We did not investigate about this. (i.e., we used to conduct Salam transactions with both types of people)

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Kharaj (produce/profit) is according to liability (guarantee).

Mukhlad bin Khafaf says: There was a slave in joint ownership between me and some of my relatives (we sold him). One relative was not present there; when he came, he refused to uphold this deal. We took our case to Hisham, so he decided that the slave would be returned and the kharaj (earnings) would also be returned. The amount of kharaj reached up to one thousand (dinars or dirhams). I went to Urwah bin Zubair. I told him about this, so he informed me: Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) told me this: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The kharaj is according to the guarantee (liability)." The narrator says: I went to Hisham and told him about this, so he returned the slave but did not return the kharaj.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sold a mudabbar (slave).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man from the Ansar freed his slave. He had no other wealth besides him. This news reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired, "Who will buy him from me?" Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin Abdullah Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave this amount to that man. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He was a Coptic slave who died within a year.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a man from the Ansar whose name was Abu Mazkoor. He made one of his slaves a mudabbar (freed after his death). This news reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired, "Does he have any wealth other than this slave?" The people replied, "No." The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Who will buy this slave from me?" So Sayyiduna Na’eem Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Spend this amount on yourself, and if anything remains, spend it on your relatives. If anything still remains, then spend it here and there (i.e., in the way of Allah)."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Madhkur (may Allah be pleased with him) made his slave a mudabbar (i.e., set free after his death). He himself was in need. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sold that slave and said: When a person is in need, he should begin (spending) on himself. If he has something extra, he should spend on his wife and children, and if there is still something extra, he should spend on his close relatives.
