English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Jabir said: A man of the Ansar called Abu Madhkur declared that his slave called Ya'qub would be free after his death, but he had no other property. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said: Who will buy him ? Nu'aim bin Abdullah bin al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams. When he handed them over to him, he (Prophet) said: If any of you is poor, he should begin from himself ; if anything is left over, give it to your family; if anything is left over, give it to your relatives ; if anything is left over (when they received something), then here and here.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ : يَعْقُوبُ ، عَنْ دُبُرٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ، فَدَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : "
مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ النَّحَّامِ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَقِيرًا ، فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا فَضْلٌ فَعَلَى عِيَالِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا فَضْلٌ فَعَلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَهَهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا
