Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man freed six slaves, and he had no wealth other than those slaves. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was informed about this, and he became very angry with him. Then the Prophet divided them into shares and gave him one third (i.e., freed two slaves).
