Muwatta Malik #1567
Setting Free and Wala'
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, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, freed six of his slaves while he was dying. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 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.
