A man from the Ansar freed a slave of his after his death (a mudabbar), and he was in need. This was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he called him and said: "Did you free your slave?" He said: "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said: "You are more in need of him." Then he said: "Who will buy him?" Nuʿaym b. ʿAbdullāh said: "I will," and he bought him. The Prophet ﷺ took his price and handed it to his owner.
