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.
