حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْتَقَ عَبِيدًا لَهُ سِتَّةً عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَأَسْهَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ ثُلُثَ تِلْكَ الْعَبِيدِ

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said and somebody else from al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Basri and from Muhammad ibn Sirin that a man in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ freed six of his slaves while he was dying. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew lots between them and freed a third of those slaves. Malik added that he had heard that the man did not have any property other than them.
