Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a man freed his slave; he had freed him as a mudabbar (a slave set free after the master's death). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that man to sell the slave and pay off his debt. Thus, that man sold the slave for eight hundred dirhams. The narrator named Abu Ja'far states: When Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this, I was also present there; he had permitted that his services could be sold. The narrator of this narration, 'Abd al-Ghaffar, is "weak"; other narrators have transmitted it as a "mursal" narration from the narrator named Abu Ja'far.
