Lian on account of pregnancy: Abu Hanifah did not accept lian on account of pregnancy

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man had six slaves, and he freed them at the time of his death. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cast lots among them, and declared two of them free and four of them slaves.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) has also reported something similar from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: Such a manumission has no validity, and he does not accept the casting of lots either.
