[Machine] About a man who had no wealth other than himself, so the Messenger of Allah called for him and said, "Who will buy him?" Nuaim bin Abdullah bin Nahham bought him for 800 dirhams, and he gave them to the Messenger of Allah and said, "If any of you are poor, let him start with himself. If there is any surplus, it should go to his family. If there is still surplus, it should go to his relatives or kin. If there is still surplus, it should be distributed here and there." 21540. And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Muhammad bin Ya'qub narrated to us, who narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Ibrahim, who narrated from Ya'qub and Ahmad bin Ibrahim Al-Durraqqi, who said that Ismail bin Ulayyah narrated from Ayyub, who mentioned it.
