الكبرى للنسائي:٤٩٣٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا فِي إِنْسَانٍ كُلِّفَ عِتْقَ مَا بَقِيَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ فَقَدْ جَازَ مَا صَنَعَ»
