حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْعَاصَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُعْتِقَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ رَقَبَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَعْتَقَ ابْنُهُ هِشَامٌ خَمْسِينَ رَقَبَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرَادَ ابْنُهُ عَمْرٌو أَنْ يُعْتِقَ عَنْهُ الْخَمْسِينَ الْبَاقِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أَوْصَى بِعَتْقِ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ هِشَامًا أَعْتَقَ عَنْهُ خَمْسِينَ وَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسُونَ رَقَبَة، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفَأُعْتِقُ عَنْهُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا فَأَعْتَقْتُمْ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتُمْ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ حَجَجْتُمْ عَنْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ.

Al-As Ibn Wail left his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf. His son Hisham emancipated fifty slaves and his son Amr intended to emancipate the remaining fifty on his behalf, but he said: I should ask first the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He, therefore, came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah, my father left in his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf and Hisham has emancipated fifty on his behalf and fifty remain. Shall I emancipate them on his behalf? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Had he been a Muslim and you had emancipated slaves on his behalf, or given sadaqah on his behalf, or performed the pilgrimage, that would have reached him.
