Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ عَبْدٌ فَبَايَعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ وَلَمْ يَشْعُرِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ عَبْدٌ فَجَاءَ سَيِّدُهُ يُرِيدُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ بِعْنِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَاشْتَرَاهُ بِعَبْدَيْنِ أَسْوَدَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُبَايِعْ أَحَدًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ أَعَبْدٌ هُوَ

Muḥammad ibn Rumḥ informed us: al-Layth ibn Saʿd informed us, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: A slave came and pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to emigrate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not realize that he was a slave. His master came looking for him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sell him to me. He bought him for two black slaves. After that, he did not accept a pledge from anyone until asking that person whether he was a slave.
