Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33033 — A man who made a bequest, left wealth

Abd al-Karim bin Rufay' said: A man died in Rayy and left wealth and slaves, and he said in his bequest: My such-and-such slave is for so-and-so, and such-and-such slave is for so-and-so. His bequest did not reach one-third of the wealth. Then, when the slaves were brought to Kufah, some of the slaves died, while those slaves whom he had bequeathed to those people did not die. I asked Ibrahim about this matter and he said: Those people to whom the slaves were bequeathed should be given the slaves according to the bequest of the one who made it.
