"عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَعْتَقَ سَائِبَةً لَمْ يَرِثْهُ، وَإِذَا جَنَى جِنَايَةً كَانَ عَلَى مَنْ أَعْتَقَهُ، فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالُوا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: أَنْصِفْنَا، إِمَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْكُم الْعَقْلُ وَلَكُم المِيرَاثُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا المِيرَاثُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْعَقْلُ، فَقَضَى عُمَرُ لَهُمْ بِالْمِيرَاثِ".

"Qabisah ibn Dhu'ayb said: When a man freed a slave as a sa'ibah, he did not inherit from him, and if the slave committed an offense, the liability fell on the one who freed him. They came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, be fair to us. Either the liability falls on you and the inheritance is yours, or the inheritance is ours and the liability is ours.' So 'Umar ruled for them with the inheritance."
