bayhaqi:21550al-Awzāʿī > Abū ʿAmmār > ʿAṭāʾ > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] A man freed a slave of his, and he didn't have any money other than him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sold him and gave him its price and said, "You are in greater need of its price, and Allah is sufficient without it."

21550 Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, Abu Bakr Al-Qadi, and Abu Abdullah Al-Susi narrated to us, they said: Abu Al-Abbas informed us, Anbas informed me, as if Al-Awzai's statement "he didn't have any money other than him" fell on him, so they reported it from Abu Ammar from Ata.  

البيهقي:٢١٥٥٠وَرَوَاهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مَزْيَدٍ عُقَيْبَهُ قَالَ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ غُلَامًا لَهُ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَبَاعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَنَهُ وَقَالَ أَنْتَ إِلَى ثَمَنِهِ أَحْوَجُ وَاللهُ غَنِيٌّ عَنْهُ 21550 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ السُّوسِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الْعَبَّاسُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي فَذَكَرَهُ وَكَأَنَّ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلُهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ
