Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33562 — A man who frees a man as a saibah
٣٣٥٦٢ - حدثنا هشيم عن أبي بشر عن عطاء أن رجلًا أعتق غلاما له سائبة، فمات وترك مالًا، فسئل ابن مسعود فقال: إن أهل الإسلام لا يسيبون، إنما (كانت تسيب) (١) أهل الجاهلية، أنت مولاه وولي نعمته وأولى الناس بميراثه، [وإن (تحرجت من شيء) (٢) (فها هنا) (٣) (ورثة) (٤) (كثير) (٥) يعني (بيت) (٦) المال] (٧) (٨).
Ata narrates that a man set his slave free in such a way that no one would have patronage over him. Then he died and left property. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this, and he said: "The people of Islam do not set free in this way; it was only the people of the Era of Ignorance who set free in this way. You are his patron and his benefactor, and you have more right to his inheritance than other people. And if you feel uneasy about anything, then there are many heirs here," meaning the public treasury.
