حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، وَعَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، عَنْ
الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ ، وَعَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْتَقَ عَبِيدًا لَهُ سِتَّةً عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ،
" فَأَسْهَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَأَعْتَقَ ثُلُثَ تِلْكَ الْعَبِيدِ " . قَالَ مَالِك : وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ
It is narrated from Hasan al-Basri and Muhammad ibn Sirin that a man freed his six slaves during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, drew lots and upheld the freedom of two of them.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It has reached me that this man had no wealth except for those six slaves.
