852 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَرْبَعَةٌ أَوْ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ مَمْلُوكِينَ لَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهُمْ، فَأَقْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً، وَقَالَ: «لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُهُ مَا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ»
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man, when near death, freed his six slaves. That man had no wealth other than those slaves, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) drew lots among the slaves and freed two of them, leaving four as slaves. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I reach him, I will not perform his funeral prayer."
