عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا
أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ مَمْلُوكِينَ لَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ، لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ ، " فَدَعَا بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَزَّأَهُمْ أَثْلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ ، وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً ، وَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man, at the time of his death, set free all six of his slaves, and he had no wealth other than them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called those slaves, divided them into three groups, and drew lots among them. Then, the two whose names were drawn were set free, and the remaining four were kept as slaves. The Prophet used harsh words regarding the deceased.
