Three-Narrator Ahadith 37
Book 3: Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal
Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported: “The Prophet (ﷺ) sold a mudabbar slave. [Nuʿaym] ibn al-Naḥḥām purchased him. He was a Coptic slave who died the previous year during the reign of [ʿAbdullāh] ibn al-Zubayr. A man from the Anṣār had declared him a mudabbar, and he [the Anṣārī man] had no other property besides him.”

Musnad Aḥmad 37
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا: «بَاعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدًا مُدَبَّرًا، فَاشْتَرَاهُ ابْنُ النَّحَّامِ، عَبْدًا قِبْطِيًّا مَاتَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فِي إِمْرَةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، دَبَّرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ.»
