English Translation

Yaḥyā ibn Isḥāq informed us, Ḥammād ibn Zayd informed us, from Yaḥyā ibn ʿAtīq, from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn, that a man freed six slaves of his upon his death, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew lots among them, freeing two and keeping four in bondage. Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn said: ‘Had it not reached me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said this, I would have made it my own opinion.’
