Hadith of Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them)
Musnad Ahmad 19932 — Hadith of Imran ibn Husayn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ابْنِ عَتِيقٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ : " أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ ، فَأَقْرَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً , قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ : لَوْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَهُ ، لَجَعَلْتُهُ رَأْيِي ".
It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man, at the time of his death, set six of his slaves free. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called those slaves and divided them into three groups, then drew lots among them. He set free the two whose names were drawn, and left the remaining four as slaves.
