حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : " أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ غُلَامًا سَائِبَةً، فَأَتَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَعْتَقْتُ غُلَامًا لِي سَائِبَةً، وَهَذِهِ تَرِكَتُهُ، قَالَ : هِيَ لَكَ، قَالَ :لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا، قَالَ : فَضَعْهَا، فَإِنَّ هَهُنَا وَارِثًا كَثِيرًا "

He said: It is yours. He said: I have no need of it. He said: Put it away, for there is a large heir here.
