Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said and somebody else from al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Basri and from Muhammad ibn Sirin that a man in the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) freed six of his slaves while he was dying. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drew lots between them and freed a third of those slaves.

Malik added that he had heard that the man did not have any property other than them.
