Chapter: A man frees a slave at his death and has no other wealth
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 1592 — A man frees a slave at his death and has
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَالشَّعْبِيِّ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ قِيمَتِهِ فَهُوَ رَقِيقٌ يُبَاعُ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الدَّيْنُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ قِيمَتِهِ بِدِرْهَمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ، فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَقَعَتِ السِّعَايَةُ
