[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Abdullah saying that a man freed a boy during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who had no wealth except for him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will buy him from me?" Nuaim ibn Abdullah said, "I will buy him from you." So he bought him. Umar said, "Jabir said he was a Coptic slave boy and he died in the first year, and Abu Zubair added that his name was Ya'qub."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غُلَامًا لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ يَبْتَاعُهُ مِنِّي فَقَالَ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَا أَبْتَاعُهُ فَابْتَاعَهُ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ جَابِرٌ غُلَامٌ قِبْطِيٌّ وَمَاتَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ زَادَ فِيهَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ
