Sunan Abu Dawood, Book of Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah)(view book)
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone buys a slave who possesses property. his property belongs to the seller unless buyer makes a provision and if anyone buys palm-trees after they have been fecundated, the fruit belongs to the seller unless the buyer make a provision.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ " مَنْ بَاعَ عَبْدًا وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ لِلْبَائِعِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَهُ الْمُبْتَاعُ وَمَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلاً مُؤَبَّرًا فَالثَّمَرَةُ لِلْبَائِعِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ " .

This tradition has also been narrated by 'Umar from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ through a different chain of narrators. It mentions only the sale of the slave. It has also been transmitted by Nafi' on the authority of Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet ﷺ indicating only the sale of palm-trees.
Abu Dawud said:
Al-Zuhri and Nafi' differed among themselves in four traditions. This is one of them.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقِصَّةِ الْعَبْدِ وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِقِصَّةِ النَّخْلِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَاخْتَلَفَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَنَافِعٌ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَحَادِيثَ هَذَا أَحَدُهَا .

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone buys a slave who possesses property, his property belongs to the seller unless the buyer makes a proviso.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " مَنْ بَاعَ عَبْدًا وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ لِلْبَائِعِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ " .
