[Machine] The price of a slave during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was ten dirhams. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu al-Abbas reported that Al-Rabi' said that Al-Shafi'i said: "This is the opinion of Abdullah ibn Amr in narrating from Amr ibn Shu'aib and the slaves have always been and are currently a commodity that is priced at one hundred and twenty dirhams. So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut in a quarter of a dinar, he cut in more than that. And you claim that Amr ibn Shu'aib is not one whose narration is accepted, while he has transmitted sunan that agree with our statements, and you say he is mistaken. So how can you reject his narration once and then use it as evidence against the people of memorization and truthfulness, even though he has not reported anything that contradicts our statements?"
