سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، قَالَ: «أَعْتَقَتِ ابْنَةُ حَمْزَةَ رَجُلًا، فَمَاتَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَابْنَةَ حَمْزَةَ، فَأَخَذَتِ ابْنَتُهُ النِّصْفَ، وَأَخَذَتِ ابْنَةُ حَمْزَةَ النِّصْفَ، وَذَلِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
Ubaid bin Abi Al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The daughter of Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) freed a slave, and he died.

This happened during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
