It is narrated from Awsajah (may Allah have mercy on him), the mawla of Ibn Abbas, that a man died in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and left no heir except a freed slave of his whom he had set free. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him his inheritance.
Al-Qadi said: This is how Hammad bin Zayd narrated it, mursal, without taking it back to Ibn Abbas.
