Hammad narrates that Ibrahim said: When an umm walad slave woman secures something during her master's lifetime and then her master dies, that thing will belong to the slave woman, and the slave woman will become free.

Abdul Kareem bin Rafee’ says that in Rayy, a man passed away and left behind wealth and slaves as inheritance, and in his will he said:“My such-and-such slave is for so-and-so, and such-and-such slave is for such-and-such person,”and his will did not reach up to one third of the wealth. Then, when the slaves were brought to Kufa, some of the slaves died, and those slaves did not die for whom he had made the will for those people. I asked Ibrahim about this matter, so he said: Those people for whom the slaves were willed should be given the slaves according to the will of the one who made the will.

It is narrated from Mughira that Ibrahim said regarding the man who made his contract slave responsible for his will, and later the contract slave said: I have spent the compensation for my contract of manumission on the children of my master, that the statement of this contract slave will be accepted and it is permissible to do so, and it is also permissible for a man to make a will in favor of his slave. However, if the slave later says that I made myself a contract slave, or says that I sold myself, then this is not permissible for him.

Wabrah narrates that a man bought his sister who had been taken captive during the time of ignorance, and he bought her along with her son whose father was unknown. The boy grew up and acquired wealth, then he died. People came to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and explained the whole matter. He said, "Take his inheritance and deposit it in the treasury (Bayt al-Mal). In my opinion, he has left no heir who would be entitled to his wealth, and in my view, you have no right to the inheritance." This news reached Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "Leave it!" and he rejected this opinion. After that, he met Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! That man is an 'Asabah (agnate) and is entitled to the deceased's wealth." Hazrat Umar asked, "Is it so?" He replied, "Yes!" So he gave the wealth to that man.
