3958. It was narrated from Ayyūb, from Abū Qilābah, from Abū Al-Muḥallab, from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain that a man stated that six slaves were to be manumitted when he died, but he did not have any property apart from them. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ and he spoke sternly to him. Then he called them, and divided them into three pairs, then he cast lots among them, and manumitted two and kept four in slavery. (Sahih)
3958 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا»، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ فَجَزَّأَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ: فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ، وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً
