حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عَوْسَجَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَارِثًا إِلَّا غُلَامًا لَهُ کَانَ أَعْتَقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ لَهُ أَحَدٌ قَالُوا لَا إِلَّا غُلَامًا لَهُ کَانَ أَعْتَقَهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2905
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man died leaving no heir but a slave whom he had emancipated. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Has he any heir? They replied: No, except a slave whom he had emancipated. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ assigned his estate to him (the emancipated slave).
