عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ: أَنَّ أُمَّهُ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَعْتِقَ فَأَخَّرَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ فَمَاتَتْ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَقُلْتُ لِلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ: أَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَعْتِقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ: أَتَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أُمِّي هَلَكَتْ فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَعْتِقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نعم». رَوَاهُ مَالك
Translation
‘Abd ar-Rahman b. Abu ‘Amra al-Ansari told that his mother had intended to emancipate a slave, but she postponed it till the morning, and she died. ‘Abd ar-Rahman said he asked al-Qasim b. Muhammad whether it would benefit her if he emancipated the slave on her behalf, and al-Qasim told him that Sa'd b. ‘Ubada had gone to God’s Messenger saying his mother had died and asking whether it would benefit her if he set free a slave on her behalf, and that God’s Messenger had replied that it would. Malik transmitted it.
