a man freed six slaves of his when he was dying, and he did not have any wealth apart from them. News of that reached the Prophet and he was angry about that. He said: "I was thinking of not offering the funeral prapyer for him." Then he called the slaves and divided them into three groups. He cast lost among them, then freed two and left four as slaves.

[Machine] A man from the Ansar passed away and left behind six slaves who had no wealth other than themselves. When he died, he freed all of them. This was brought to the attention of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He divided them into three parts, then shook a pot containing lots between the parts. He freed one-third and raffled the remaining two-thirds. Muhammad ibn Sireen said, "If it had not been conveyed to me that this was the action of the Prophet ﷺ , I would have thought it was my own opinion."
