Muwatta Malik #1590
Setting Free and Wala'
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ هَلَكَ وَتَرَكَ بَنِينَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةً وَتَرَكَ مَوَالِيَ أَعْتَقَهُمْ هُوَ عَتَاقَةً ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ بَنِيهِ هَلَكَا وَتَرَكَا أَوْلاَدًا . فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَرِثُ الْمَوَالِيَ الْبَاقِي مِنَ الثَّلاَثَةِ فَإِذَا هَلَكَ هُوَ فَوَلَدُهُ وَوَلَدُ إِخْوَتِهِ فِي وَلاَءِ الْمَوَالِي شَرَعٌ سَوَاءٌ .
Malik related to me that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab
spoke about a man who died and left three sons and left mawali whom he
had freed. Then two of his sons died and left children. He said, "The
third remaining son inherits the mawali. When he dies, his children
and the children of his brothers share equally in the wala' of the
mawali."
