"إِنَّ العاصى بْنَ وَائِل أوْصَى أنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ رَقَبِة فَأعْتَقَ ابْنُهُ هِشَامٌ خَمْسينَ رَقَبَةً، فَأراد ابْنُهُ عَمْرٌو أنْ يَعْتِقَ عَنْهُ الخَمسينَ البَاقيةَ، فَقَالَ: حَتَّى أَسْألَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ ، فَأتَى النَّبىَّ ﷺ ، فَقَاَل: يَا رَسُولَ الله! إِنَّ أبي أوْصَى بِعتْقِ مائَة رَقَبَة، وَإنَّ هِشَامًا أعْتَقَ عَنْهُ خَمْسينَ، وَبَقيَتْ عَلَىَّ خَمْسونَ أفَأعْتِقُ عَنْهُ؟ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ، إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا فَأعتَقْتُمْ عَنْه أوْ تَصَدَّقْتُمْ عَنهُ أوْ حَجَجْتُمْ عَنْهُ: بَلِّغْهُ ذَلِك".

abudawud:2883 – al-ʿAbbās b. al-Walīd b. Mazyad from my father > al-Awzāʿī > Ḥassān b. ʿAṭiyyah > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather > al-ʿĀṣ b. Wāʾil Awṣá

On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told that Al-'As ibn Wa'il left his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf. His son Hisham emancipated fifty slaves and his son Amr intended to emancipate the remaining fifty on his behalf, but he said: I should ask first the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He, therefore, came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, my father left in his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf and Hisham has emancipated fifty on his behalf and fifty remain. Shall I emancipate them on his behalf? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Had he been a Muslim and you had emancipated slaves on his behalf, or given sadaqah on his behalf, or performed the pilgrimage, that would have reached him.

أبو داود:٢٨٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ الْعَاصَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ أَوْصَى
