البيهقي:٢١٣٨٤وَلَعَلَّهُ عُورِضَ بِمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ بَدْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ

سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ عَبْدٍ أَعْتَقَهُ مَوْلَاهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَسْعَى فِي الدَّيْنِ وَهَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَرَاوِيهِ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْتَجٍّ بِهِ
