bayhaqi:21351Abū Naṣr b. Qatādah > Abū al-Faḍl b. Khimayrawayh > Aḥmad b. Najdah > Saʿīd b. Manṣūr > Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Dīnār > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Saʿīd

[Machine] The sons of Sa'id ibn al-Aas had a slave boy, so they all emancipated him except for one man. He went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to intercede for him with the man, so the man granted his share to the Prophet ﷺ and he emancipated him. The slave used to say, "I am the slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ", and this man was called Rāfi` ibn al-Bahiyy. This indicates that he was not emancipated explicitly, and it is possible that they were in financial difficulty. The hadith is disconnected, and we narrated it from Isma'il ibn Umayyah from 'Amr ibn Sa'id ibn al-Aas from his father from his grandfather. Another story that contradicts this narrative has been mentioned earlier, and the ruling has been mentioned in the previous part. And Allah knows best.  

البيهقي:٢١٣٥١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خِمَيْرَوَيْهِ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ

أَنَّ بَنِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ كَانَ لَهُمْ غُلَامٌ فَأَعْتَقَهُ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَّا رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَشْفِعُ بِهِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَوَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ نَصِيبَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَعْتَقَهُ فَكَانَ الْعَبْدُ يَقُولُ أَنَا مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَالُ لَهُ رَافِعٌ أَبُو الْبَهِيِّ هَذَا يَدُلُّ إِنْ صَحَّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْتَقْ بِاللَّفْظِ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُعْسِرِينَ وَالْحَدِيثُ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ فِي هَذَا قِصَّةٌ أُخْرَى تُخَالِفُ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةَ وَالْحُكْمَ قَدْ مَضَى فِي الْجُزْءِ قَبْلَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
