[Machine] A woman from the tribe of Banu Layth bought me in the market of Dhi-al-Majaz for seven hundred dirhams. Then I arrived in Al-Madinah and she wrote me a contract for forty thousand dirhams, which I paid to her in full. Then I carried what remained to her and said, "This is your property, so take it." She said, "No, I will not take it from you until I take it from you month by month and year by year." So I went with her to Umar ibn Al-Khattab and mentioned this to him. Umar said, "Pay it to the treasury, then send her a message saying, 'This is your property in the treasury, and Abu Sa'id has been emancipated. If you wish, take it month by month and year by year.'" He said that she sent the message, and she took it. Abu Bakr an-Naysaburi said, "This is a good Hadith."
