Jabir reported: A person from the Banu 'Udhra set a slave free after his death. This news reached the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace be upon hhn). Upon this he said: Have you any property besides it? He said: No. Upon this he said: Who would buy (this slave) from me? Naeem bin'Abdullah bought it for eight hundred dirhams and (this amount was) brought to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who returned it to him (the owner), and then said: Start with your own self and spend it on yourself, and if anything is left, it should be spent on your family, and if anything is left (after meeting the needs of the family) it should be spent on relatives, and if anything is left from the family, it should be spent like this, like this. And he was saying: In front of you, on your right and on your left.

Jabir reported that a person among the Ansar who was called Abu Madhkur granted posthumous freedom to his slave who was called Ya'qub. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said that a person among the Ansar declared his slave free after his death, as he had no other property. This news reached the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: Who will buy him from me? And Nu'aim bin al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams and he handed them over to him. 'Amr (one of the narrators) said: I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah as saying: He was a Coptic slave, and he died in the first year (of the Caliphate of 'Abdullah bin Zubair).

Jabir is reported to have said: A person amongst the Ansar who had no other property declared a slave free after his death. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sold him, and Ibn al-Nahham bought him and he was a Coptic slave (who) died in the first year of the Caliphate of Ibn Zubair.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters.
