2211. It was narrated from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar, from
Ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever sells a palm tree that has been pollinated, its fruits belong to the seller, unless the purchaser stipulated a condition. And whoever buys a slave who has wealth, his wealth belongs to the seller, unless the purchaser stipulated a condition." (Sahih)

Commentary
A slave sometimes needs wealth to fulfill his duties and the master gives him a reasonable amount of money to spend; or the master may be pleased with the service of his slave and give him some jewelry to wear for encouragement. In such cases, this wealth still belongs to the master, and it will not go with the slave if he is sold.
If a buyer makes it clear that he is buying the slave along with the wealth; or trees along with the fruits; it is then apparent that the price will increase accordingly. In this case, according to the condition, the wealth or fruit will belong to the buyer.
