English Translation

Ismā‘īl narrated to us: Ayyūb narrated to us, from Abū Qilābah, from Abū al-Muhallab, from ‘Imrān ibn Husayn, that a man freed six slaves of his at the time of his death, and he had no other property besides them. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ summoned them, divided them into three groups, then drew lots among them. He freed two and kept four in slavery, and he spoke sternly to the man.
