اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ سِتَّةَ رَقَبَةٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ وَرَثَتُهُ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَأَخْبَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّا صَنَعَ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً فِي الرِّقِّ
(Second chain) A man freed six slaves at the time of his death. When his Bedouin heirs informed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, of what he had done, he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Did he really do that?" Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If I had known beforehand, then, if Allah wills, I would not have performed his funeral prayer." Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, cast lots among the slaves and freed two of them, leaving four as slaves.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Any bequest or condition made by the deceased that is contrary to the rulings of the Shari‘ah will be considered rejected and ineffective. For this very reason, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rejected the decision of this deceased person and, in accordance with the allowance of one third, freed two slaves and distributed four among the heirs.
