Narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari man, at the time of his death, freed six slaves, while he had no other wealth besides them. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: I intended not to perform his funeral prayer. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called those slaves, divided them into three parts, and (by drawing lots) freed two of them and left four as slaves.
