3961. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Sīrīn, from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain that a man stated that six slaves were to be manumitted when he died, and he did not have any other property apart from them. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ and he cast lots among them, manumitting two and leaving four in slavery. (Sahih)
3961 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَتِيقٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ: فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ، وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً "
