Hadith in English

Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told that 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. .
