بَابُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقِيقًا لَا يَمْلِكُ مَالًا غَيْرَهُمْChapter on one who frees slaves who own no property besides themselves
Hadith 1270
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ " أَعْتَقَ رَقِيقًا لَهُ كُلَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بِتِلْكَ الرَّقِيقِ، " فَقُسِمَتْ أَثْلَاثًا، ثُمَّ أَسْهَمَ عَلَى أَيِّهِمْ يَخْرُجُ سَهْمُ الْمَيِّتِ فَيَعْتِقُونَ، فَوَقَعَ السَّهْمُ عَلَى أَحَدِ الْأَثْلَاثِ، فَعَتَقَ الثُّلُثُ الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ السَّهْمُ "
It is narrated from Rabi'ah bin Abi Abdur Rahman that a man, during the caliphate of Aban bin Uthman, freed all his slaves, and besides those slaves, the man had no other wealth. So Aban bin Uthman ordered that the slaves be divided into three parts. Then, whichever part the deceased's share fell upon, those slaves were set free, and the parts that fell to the heirs, those slaves remained.
