وَعَنْ سَالِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ: نَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ:
مَاتَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَهُ سِتَّةُ أَعْبُدٍ، لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ، وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً، وَأَعْتَقَ بِالْقُرْعَةِ
