Hadith 12954
١٢٩٥٤ - حدثنا وكيع عن ثور الشامي عن (عمر بن) (١) عبد الرحمن بن سعد قال: جاء رجل إلى ابن عباس فقال: إن لي غلامين، أحدهما رشدة والآخر غية، وإني أريد أن أعتق أحدهما، فأيهما ترى أن أعتق؟ قال: أكثرهما ثمنًا (ولو ولد زنا) (٢) (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Umar bin Abdur Rahman bin Saad that a man came to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and asked: "I have two slaves, one of legitimate lineage and the other born of adultery, and I wish to free one slave. In your opinion, which one should I free?" He replied: "See which one is more valuable, free that one." They found that the one born of adultery was more valuable, so he instructed them to free him.
