Those who let them exclude others but did not make them heirs

Waki' narrated from al-A'mash from Ibrahim.

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to treat slaves and the People of the Book as excluding others from inheritance, but did not make them heirs.

It is narrated from al-A'mash that Ibrahim reported the statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "When a man dies and leaves his father or brother or son in slavery, and leaves no heir, he is to be bought, then freed, and then made the heir."

It is narrated from Muhammad that Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, concerning a man who died leaving his father in slavery: "He is to be bought from his wealth, then freed, and then made the heir."

He said: And al-Hasan used to say this.

Ibrahim has reported the same statement from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain.
