باب مَا يُبْدَأُ بِهِ مِنَ الْوَصَايَا:Chapter on what to begin with in wills
Hadith 3259
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ: "فِي الرَّجُلِ يُوصِي بِأَشْيَاءَ وَمِنْهَا الْعِتْقُ، فَيُجَاوِزُ الثُّلُثَ، قَالَ: يُبْدَأُ بِالْعِتْقِ" .
It is narrated from Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him): A man makes various bequests, among which is the freeing of a slave, and if that bequest exceeds one third (of the estate), then the slave will be freed first.
