A person from the Banu 'Udhra set a slave free after his death. This news reached the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hhn). Upon this he said: Have you any property besides it? He said: No. Upon this he said: Who would buy (this slave) from me? Nulaim b. Abdullah bought it for eight hundred dirhams and (this amount was) brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who returned it to him (the owner), and then said: Start with your own self and spend it on yourself, and if anything is left, it should be spent on your family, and if anything is left (after meeting the needs of the family) it should be spent on relatives, and if anything is left from the family, it should be spent like this, like this. And he was saying: In front of you, on your right and on your left.  

أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ عَبْدًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَجَاءَ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَىْءٌ فَلأَهْلِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ شَىْءٌ فَلِذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِكَ شَىْءٌ فَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَقُولُ فَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ  

"A man from Banu 'Adhrah stated that a slave of his was to be set free after he died. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'Do you have any other property basides him/' He said? 'No.' the Messenger of Allah said; 'Who will buy him from me?' Nu'aim bin 'Abdullah Al-Adawi bought him for eight hundred Dirhams, which the Messenger of Allah brought and gave to him (the former owner). Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'Start with yourself and give charity to (yourself). If there is anything left over, then give it to your family; if there is anything left over from your family, then give it to your relatives; if there is anything left over from your relatives, then give it to such and such,' saying 'In front of you, to your right and to your left.

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 b. 'Abd Allah b. 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.  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ أَعْتَقَ غُلاَمًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَدَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ النَّحَّامِ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ 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 فَضْلاً فَهَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا  

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 b. 'Abd Allah b. al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams.

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3957)   

عَنْ دُبُرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَدَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ؟ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّحَّامُ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ فَعَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ فَعَلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ فَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا  

[Machine] It is said that Abu Madhkur arranged a marriage for his servant, even though he did not have any other wealth besides him. The servant's name was Ya'qub. The Messenger of Allahﷺ asked, "Who will buy this (servant)?" A man from the Banu Adi ibn Ka'b bought him for a hundred dirhams. The Prophetﷺ said, "If any of you is in need, let him start with himself. If he has surplus, then with his family. If he has surplus, then with his relatives. If he has surplus, then here, here, and here."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ دَبَّرَ غُلَامًا لَهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لِلْغُلَامِ يَعْقُوبُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا؟ » فَاشْتَرَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ بِثَمَنِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مُحْتَاجًا فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَبِأَهْلِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَبِأَقْرِبَائِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا»  

[Machine] It is said that Abu Mazkoor appointed a servant for himself. When the Prophet ﷺ heard about it, he said, "He has someone else's wealth." They replied, "No." He said, "Who will buy him from me?" So, Nuaim Al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Spend it on yourself. If there is any surplus, then on your relatives. If there is still surplus, then here and there."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ دَبَّرَ غُلَامًا لَهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَهُ مَالُ غَيْرِهِ» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي» فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمٌ النَّحَّامُ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنْفِقْهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَعَلَى أَقَارِبِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا»  

[Machine] A man from the Ansar (helpers) had freed a slave boy named Ya'qub whose master was known as Abu Madhkur. The man did not have any wealth other than him, so he called upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and asked, "Who will buy this from me?" Then, Nu'aim ibn Abdullah, the brother of Banu Adiy ibn Ka'b, bought him for eight hundred dirhams. Later, the man called upon the Prophet again, and he said to him, "If you are poor, start with yourself. If you have excess, take care of your family. If there is still extra, take care of your relatives. And if there is still extra, then give it to others." Whenever the Prophet relayed this story, he mentioned that Ya'qub was an Abyssinian slave who died in the first year.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ وَاسْمُ الْغُلَامِ يَعْقُوبُ وَالَّذِي أَعْتَقَهُ يُدْعَى أَبَا مَذْكُورٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ فَدَعَا بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا مِنِّي؟ » فَاشْتَرَاهُ مِنْهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخُو بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِهِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا كُنْتَ فَقِيرًا فَأَبْدَأُ بِنَفْسِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَعَلَى عِيَالِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَعَلَى قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا» وَكَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدًا قِبْطِيًّا مَاتَ عَامَ أَوَّلٍ

And he was saying: In front of you, on your right and on your left. (Using translation from Muslim 997a)

[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.
