A man emancipated six slaved at the time of his death and he had no other property. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about it. He cast lots among them, emancipated two and retained four in slavery.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً  

A man emancipated six slaved at the time of his death and he had no other property. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about it. He cast lots among them, emancipated two and retained four in slavery. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3961)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهُمْ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً  

[Machine] A man who had enslaved six people before his death, came and his heirs, who were from the Bedouins, informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of what he had done. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did he really do that?" They replied, "If only we knew, by the will of Allah, we would not have prayed for him." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rebuked them and emancipated two of the slaves, then returned the remaining four to their masters.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ سِتَّةَ رَجْلَةٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ وَرَثَتُهُ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَأَخْبَرُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا صَنَعَ قَالَ أَوَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مَا صَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ مِنْهُمْ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً فِي الرِّقِّ  

[Machine] A man from the Ansar freed six heads (slaves) before his death, and he did not have any wealth apart from them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he became angry with him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and reprimanded him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ summoned the slaves and distributed them among themselves; he freed two of them and retained four in slavery.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَعْتَقَ رُءُوسًا سِتَّةً عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَدَعَا بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً فِي الرِّقِّ  

[Machine] "That a man freed six of his slaves before his death, and he had no other wealth except them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ banged his hand between them, freeing two of them and sending back four to slavery."  

«أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ مَمْلُوكِينَ لَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهُمْ فَأَقْرَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً فِي الرِّقِّ»  

[Machine] A man died and left behind six men whom he had freed upon his death. His heirs mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said, "If only we knew how we could offer funeral prayer for him!" He then asked them to bring those men to him. He questioned them and found that two of them were deserving of manumission while four were to be returned to slavery.  

أَنَّهُ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ وَتَرَكَ سِتَّةَ رِجَالٍ فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَجَاءَ وَرَثَتُهُ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا مَا صَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ ادْعُهُمْ لِي فَدَعَاهُمْ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً فِي الرِّقِّ  

"أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ لَهُ سِتَّةُ أَعْبُدٍ فَأَعْتَقَهُم بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَأَقْرعَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُم فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً".  

"أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ لَهُ سِتَّةُ أَعْبُدٍ فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، فَأَقْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً".
