13 Malik related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Amra al-Ansari that his mother had wanted to make a bequest, but she delayed until morning and died. She had intended to set someone free, so Abd ar-Rahman said, I said to al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, Will it help her if I free a slave for her? Al-Qasim replied, Sad ibn Ubadah said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, My mother died, will it help her if I set a slave free for her? The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said "Yes." "
