Muhammad ibn al-Walid narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us; Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Abd Rabbih ibn Said, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: “Whoever sells date palms and an enslaved person has combined the two in a single sale.”

  • عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلاً وَبَاعَ عَبْدًا جَمَعَهُمَا جَمِيعًا ‏"‏ ‏.

    The brief wording says the seller combines the palms and enslaved person together; it gives no further explanation of the legal consequence in this excerpt.

    Does “combined the two in a single sale” preserve the wording without supplying an unstated ruling?
