A man who makes a bequest and then makes another after it

Yunus narrates from al-Hasan that he said: When a person makes a bequest and after it makes another bequest, the second bequest will be acted upon.

Amr bin Dinar narrates from Ata, Tawus and Abu al-Sha'tha that they said: The last bequest of such a man will be acted upon.

Hisham narrates from al-Hasan that a man made a bequest, called some people and said: "If death comes to me, I call you to witness that such-and-such a slave of mine is free." It was said to him: "You have freed such-and-such a slave, but you have left out such-and-such other slave, who served better than him." At this he said: "Call the people back!" And he said to them: "I call you to witness that I have withdrawn from the freeing of this slave, and that such-and-such other slave is free if I die." Then the man died. The first slave claimed: "I am free," and the other said: "I am free." So they went to Abd al-Malik bin Marwan for a judgment, and he rejected the freeing of the first slave and declared the freeing of the other.

Ma'mar reports from al-Zuhri: When a man makes a bequest and then revokes it and makes another bequest, only the second bequest will be considered. And if he does not revoke the first bequest, both bequests will take effect within his one-third, in proportion to their respective shares.

It is narrated from Amr bin Shu'ayb that Ibn Abi Rabi'ah asked Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) about a man who made one bequest and then made another. He said: The later of the two has the greater right to be carried out.
