Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَ لَهُ سِتَّةُ مَمْلُوكِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَجَزَّأَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr bin Ali Al-Jahdami and Muhammad bin Al-Muthanna narrated to us. They both said: Abd Al-Ala narrated to us: Khalid Al-Hadhdha narrated to us, from Abu Qilabah, from Abu Al-Muhallab, from Imran bin Husain, that a man owned six enslaved persons and had no property other than them. He emancipated them all at the time of his death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided them and emancipated two, while keeping the other four enslaved.
