Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared his slave to be free after his death. He had no other wealth except this slave. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took hold of him and sold him. He said: You are more in need of his price, and Allah is more free of need than this.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the Ansar freed his slave as a mudabbar. The name of this slave was Yaqub. And the person who freed him was named Abu Mazkur. That person had no wealth other than this slave. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called for the slave and inquired. He said, "Who will buy him from me?" So Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu 'Adi bin Ka'b, bought the slave from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for eight hundred dirhams. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called that person and said, "When you are poor, begin with yourself. If you have surplus wealth, spend it on your wife and children. If there is still surplus, spend it on your relatives. If there is still surplus, then spend it here and there (i.e., in the way of Allah)." The narrator states: Whenever Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith, he would also say: He was a Coptic slave who died within a year.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the prices of things increased. The people submitted: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! The prices of things have increased. Now fix the prices for us. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah Almighty is the Creator, He is the One who constricts, the One who grants abundance, the Provider of sustenance. I hope that when I appear before Allah Almighty, I will not have wronged any one of you regarding his family or wealth.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the buying and selling of swine, the buying and selling of carrion, and the buying and selling of idols." A man asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), what is your opinion about the fat of carrion, since we use its fat to apply on skins and on boats, and we also use it to light lamps? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah destroy the Jews. Allah made fat unlawful for them, so they melted it and then sold it and consumed its price."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards the sky and then said: "May Allah destroy the Jews; fat was made unlawful for them, so they sold it and began to consume its price. Indeed, when Allah declares something unlawful, He also declares its price unlawful."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed that a man presented a wineskin of wine as a gift to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do you not know that Allah Almighty has forbidden its consumption?" That man whispered something to a person beside him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What did you say to him in a whisper?" He replied: "I advised him to sell it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Indeed, (Allah Almighty has) forbidden the sale of that which He has forbidden to drink." So the man opened the mouth of the wineskin until everything in it was emptied (i.e., it spilled out).
