A man who had no other property emancipated six slaves of his at the time of the death. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed about it, he spoke severely of him. He then called them, divided them into three sections, cast lots among them, and emancipated two and kept four in slavery. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3958)

[Machine] A man freed six slaves he had upon his death, and he had no other wealth besides them. So the Messenger of Allah heard about them, struck his hand to his thigh between them, freed two and returned four to slavery.

[Machine] A man had six slaves and he had no money except for them. So he freed them upon his death. This matter was brought to the Prophet ﷺ , who disliked it. Then he divided them, I think he said into three parts, and he drew lots among them. He freed two and kept four as slaves.
