رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِمَالٍ لِذَوِي قَرَابَتِهِ وَ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكاً لَهُ وَ كَانَ جَمِيعُ مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ يَزِيدُ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ فَقَالَ يَبْدَأُ بِالْعِتْقِ فَيُنَفِّذُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ismail Bin Hamam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who bequeathed during his death with wealth for the relatives, and emancipated a slave of his, and the entirety of what he had bequeathed with exceeded upon the third. How should one deal with his bequest?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Begin with the emancipation, and (then) enforce it’.
