Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man had six slaves. At the time of his death, he set them free. That man had no wealth other than those slaves. This matter was presented before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and he disliked it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) divided the slaves into three parts, drew lots among them, freed two of them, and left the remaining four as slaves.
