3954. It was narrated that Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh said: “We sold Umm Walads during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and Abū Bakr, but during the time of ‘Umar, he told us not to do that, and we stopped.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3954 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «بِعْنَا أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ نَهَانَا فَانْتَهَيْنَا»

Commentary

There is difference of opinion among the scholars of Hadith regarding the selling of an ‘Umm Walad’. It is better that they not be sold.
