[Machine] A man freed six slaves when he was on his deathbed. His relatives from the Bedouin tribe came and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what he had done. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If we had known about this, we would not have prayed for him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then struck a blow between them and freed two slaves, and he lightened the burden of four other slaves. This hadith was narrated by Mansur ibn Zadhan from Al-Hasan from Imran that a man from the Ansar freed six slaves that he owned when he was on his deathbed and he did not leave behind any other wealth. Then he mentioned the narration: "Abu Ja'far Al-Mustamli informed us that I am Bashr Al-Isfara'ini, and Dawud ibn Al-Husain Al-Bayhaqi narrated to us, and Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us that Hushaim narrated from Mansur ibn Zadhan, and he mentioned its meaning."
