[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, indeed my mother has passed away, so will it benefit her if I free a slave on her behalf? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yes, free a slave on her behalf." This narration was reported by Hisham ibn Hassan from Al-Hasan from the Prophet ﷺ, transmitted in a mursal form, with part of its meaning.  

البيهقي:١٢٦٣٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أُمِّهِ أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تُوصِيَ ثُمَّ أَخَّرَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ فَهَلَكَتْ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ هَمَّتْ بِعِتْقٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقُلْتُ لِلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ

لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أُمِّي هَلَكَتْ فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ أَعْتِقْ عَنْهَا هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَرَوَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا بِبَعْضِ مَعْنَاهُ

malik:38-14 – Mālik > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū ʿAmrah al-Anṣārī

Malik related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Amra al-Ansari that his mother had wanted to make a bequest, but she delayed until morning and died. She had intended to set someone free, so Abd ar- Rahman said, 'I said to al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, 'Will it help her if I free a slave for her?' Al-Qasim replied, 'Sad ibn Ubada said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 'My mother died, will it help her if I set a slave free for her?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "Yes." "'
