بَابُ الرَّجُلِ يُوصِي بِالْعَتَاقَةِ وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَChapter: A man bequeaths emancipation and other things
Hadith 1575
اُردوEn
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُوصِي بِالْعَتَاقِ وَغَيْرِهِ، قَالَ: «يُبْدَأُ بِالْعَتَاقِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ، فَإِذَا اسْتَكْمَلَ الْعَتَاقُ الثُّلُثَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَصْحَابِ الْوَصِيَّةِ شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ زَادَ الْعَتَاقُ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ اسْتَسْعَى فِيمَا بَقِيَ وَعَتَقَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ الْعَتَاقُ أَقَلَّ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ بُدِئَ بِالْعَتَاقِ، وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ كَانَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِ الْوَصِيَّةِ بِحِصَصِهِمْ»
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "When a person makes a bequest for the emancipation of slaves and other bequests, the slaves will be freed first. If the emancipation of the slaves is fulfilled within one third of the wealth, then the other beneficiaries of the bequest will receive nothing. If the emancipation of the slaves exceeds one third, then the slave will be required to pay for his freedom through labor, and he will be freed. If the emancipation of the slaves is less than one third, then the remaining portion of the one third of the wealth will be distributed among the other beneficiaries of the bequest according to their shares."
