وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: بِعْنَا أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ نَهَانَا عَنْهُ فَانْتَهَيْنَا. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Translation
Jabir reported: In the time of the Messenger of God and Abu Bakr, we sold mothers of children. When Umar came to power, he forbade us from doing so, and we stopped. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
