The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is the companion of the inheritance of Al-Hubab bin 'Amr?" They said, "His brother, Abu Al-Yasr Ka'b bin 'Amr." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him, "Do not sell it, and set her free. If you hear that Riqiq (a type of milk) has come to me, come to me and I will compensate you for it." So they did that, but they differed among themselves after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Some people said: "The mother of the child is a slave woman. If not for that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have compensated them for her." And some of them said: "No, she is a free woman whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ freed." That is where the difference lies.
