Sahih al-Bukhari 2141 (Book 34, Hadith 93) #2056
Helping Those in Need

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) sold a slave to help a man in need of money.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: A man decided that a slave of his would be manumitted after his death and later on he was in need of money, so the Prophet took the slave and said, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Nu'aim bin 'Abdullah bought him for such and such price and the Prophet gave him the slave.
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ الْمُكْتِبُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَعْتَقَ غُلاَمًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ، فَاحْتَاجَ فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي ‏"‏ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's willingness to help those in need. In this hadith, a man was struggling financially and decided to sell his slave after his death. The Prophet Muhammad offered to buy the slave himself and then resell it for a higher price so that the man could benefit from it. This shows us that the Prophet was always willing to help those who were struggling and that he cared deeply for people's wellbeing. He also taught us that we should be generous with our wealth and use it as an opportunity to help others who are less fortunate than ourselves.
