النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَتِيقٍ ، وَأَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، "

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ أَعْبُدٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً
