وَعَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ رِجْلَةٍ لَهُ . فَجَاءَ وَرَثَتُهُ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَأَخْبَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَا صَنَعَ فَقَالَ : " أَوَقَدَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ؟ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا صَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ " .
قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ مَمْلُوكِينَ لَهُ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَغَضِبَ ، وَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ " .
وَرِجَالُ الْجَمِيعِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man set free six of his slaves. His heirs, who were from the desert Arabs, came and told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what he had done. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did he really do that? Had we known beforehand, then, if Allah willed, we would not have offered his funeral prayer." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This report is recorded in the "Sahih" in abridged form.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, but he reported these words: "A man from the Ansar set free six of his slaves, and he had no wealth other than these slaves. News of this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he became angry and said: 'I had resolved that I would not offer his funeral prayer.'" The narrators of all these reports are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، وَسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ ، فَأَقْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً .

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: A man near death set free six of his slaves, and he had no wealth other than these slaves.

(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) is mentioned in the "Sahih".

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ : أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ سِتَّةَ أَرْؤُسٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ أَسْهَمَ فَأَخْرَجَ ثُلُثَهُمْ .

وَعَنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَأْذَنَ وَرَثَتَهُ أَنْ يُوصِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ فَأَذِنُوا لَهُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا فِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا مَاتَ فَسُئِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : ذَلِكَ النَّكَرُّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ . وَالْقَاسِمُ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ .
Al-Qasim narrates: A man asked his heirs for permission to make a will for more than one third, and the heirs gave him permission. Then they withdrew that permission; they did this after he had died. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this, and he said: "This is an imposition, which is not valid."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; the narrator al-Qasim did not live in the time of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him).

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : إِيَّاكَ الْحِرْمَانَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَالتَّبْذِيرَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "Beware of withholding throughout life and of extravagance at the time of death!"
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Abdullah bin Sinan al-Asadi. It is mentioned like this in the manuscript, but it appears that he is Ibn Ziyad al-Asadi, because if he is Ibn Ziyad, then its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
