Mishkat al-Masabih 3392

Jabir reported: A man of the Ansar declared that his slave would be emancipated after his death, and he had no other property. When this reached the Prophet, he said, ‘Who will buy him from me?’ Nuaym ibn al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams. Agreed upon. In a version from Muslim, Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-Adawi bought him for eight hundred dirhams and brought the money to the Prophet, who handed it to the man and then said: ‘Begin with yourself and give charity to yourself. If anything remains, then for your family; if anything remains after your family, then for your relatives; and if anything remains after your relatives, then thus and thus’—indicating what is before you, to your right, and to your left.
