وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { كُنَّا نَبِيعُ سَرَارِيَنَا, أُمَّهَاتِ اَلْأَوْلَادِ, وَالنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -حَيٌّ, لَا نَرَى 1 بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا } رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ, وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَاَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ 2 .1 - في " أ ": " يرى " بالمثناة التحتانية، وهو تحريف صوابه " نرى " بالنون كما في " الأصل " وفي المصادر المذكورة، وأما ما وقع في بعضها بالياء، فهو تحريف، ومما يؤكد ذلك قول البيهقي ( 10 / 347 ): " ليس في شيء من هذه الأحاديث أن النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- علم بذلك، فأقرهم عليه ".2 - صحيح. رواه النسائي في " الكبرى " ( 3 / 199 )، وابن ماجه ( 2517 )، والدارقطني ( 4 / 135 / 37 ) وابن حبان ( 1215 ). قلت: وفي رواية أخرى لحديث جابر قال: بعنا أمهات الأولاد على عهد رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، وأبي بكر، فلما كان عمر نهانا، فانتهينا.
Narrated Narrated Jabir (RA):
We used to sell our slave-women who had borne (our) children while the Prophet (ﷺ) was still living, and he saw no harm in that.
وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا- قَالَ: { نَهَى عُمَرُ عَنْ بَيْعِ أُمَّهَاتِ اَلْأَوْلَادِ فَقَالَ: لَا تُبَاعُ, وَلَا تُوهَبُ, وَلَا تُورَثُ, لِيَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا مَا بَدَا لَهُ، فَإِذَا مَاتَ فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ } رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ, وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ, وَقَالَ: رَفَعَهُ بَعْضُ اَلرُّوَاةِ, فَوَهِمَ 1 .1 - صحيح موقوفا. رواه مالك في " الموطأ " ( 2 / 776 / 6 )، والبيهقي في " الكبرى " ( 10 / 342 - 343 ). وقال البيهقي: " وغلط فيه بعض الرواة … فرفعه إلى النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، وهو وهم لا يحل ذكره ".
Narrated Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):
'Umar (RA) forbade the sale of the slave-women who have given birth to children (of their owners). He said, "She is not to be sold, bestowed as a gift or inherited. He (the owner) enjoys her as long as he lives and when he dies, she becomes free."
Barirah came to her and said, "I had arranged to buy my freedom for nine Uqiya; one Uqiyah to be paid annually, so help me." 'Aishah (RA) replied, "If your people are pleased that I should pay (the amount) to them, and I shall have the right to inherit from you, I shall do so." Barira went to her people and told them about it, but they refused the offer. When she came back Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting (in the house). She said, "I offered that to them, but they insisted that the right to inherit from me should be theirs." The Prophet (ﷺ) heard that and 'Aishah (RA) told him about it. So, he said to 'Aishah (RA), "Take her and stipulate that the right to inherit from her will be yours, for the right of inheritance from her will be yours, for the right of inheritance belongs only to the one who has set a slave free." 'Aishah (RA) did so. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then stood up among the people to address them. So, after praising and extolling Allah, he said, "To proceed; what is the matter with some men who make conditions which are not in the Book of Allah, the Might, the Majestic? Any condition which is not in Allah's Book is invalid. Even if there are a hundred conditions, Allah's Decision is more valid and Allah's Condition is more binding. The right of inheritance belongs only to the one who has set a slave free."
. Muslim has: "Buy her, set her free and make the stipulation that the right to inherit from her will be yours."
