Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَاعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُدَبَّرَ .
Translation
Ibn Numayr narrated to us: Waki narrated to us: Ismail narrated to us, from Salama ibn Kuhayl, from Ata, from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet sold a mudabbar.
Translation notes
A mudabbar is an enslaved person whose manumission is deferred until the owner death. The source does not state that the owner was alive and in need of money, as added by the English witness.
