أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ السُّوسِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ الْعَاصَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيَّ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ رَقَبَةٍ، فَأَعْتَقَ ابْنُهُ هِشَامٌ خَمْسِينَ رَقَبَةً، وَأَرَادَ ابْنُهُ عَمْرٌو أَنْ يُعْتِقَ عَنْهُ الْخَمْسِينَ الْبَاقِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبِي أَوْصَى أَنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ رَقَبَةٍ، وَإِنَّ هِشَامًا أَعْتَقَ عَنْهُ خَمْسِينَ، وَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسُونَ، أَفَأُعْتِقُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا فَأَعْتَقْتُمْ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتُمْ عَنْهُ أَوْ حَجَجْتُمْ عَنْهُ بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ ".
Hazrat Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from his father, from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), that al-As bin Wa'il made a bequest that a hundred slaves be freed on his behalf. His son Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) freed fifty slaves, and his other son Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) also intended to free the remaining fifty slaves, and said: "Let me first ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! My father made a bequest that a hundred slaves be freed on his behalf; Hisham has freed fifty, and fifty remain. Shall I free them on his behalf?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he was a Muslim, then free slaves on his behalf, or give charity, or perform Hajj, and it will reach him."
