Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘A woman from my family bequeathed to me with a third of her wealth, and she ordered that (a slave be) emancipated, and Hajj (be performed), and charity (be given), but that (amount) did not reach the requirement. So I asked Abu Haneefa about it, so he said, ‘Make it three (parts), a third regarding the emancipation, and a third regarding the Hajj, and a third regarding the charity’. So I came over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so I said, ‘A woman from my family died, and bequeathed to me with a third of her wealth, and ordered that (a slave) be emancipated from it, and charity be given, and Hajj be performed from it. So I looked into it but (the amount) did not reach (was insufficient)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Begin with the Hajj, for it is an Obligation from the Obligations of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and make whatever remains, a portion regarding the emancipation, and a portion regarding the charity’. So I informed Abu Haneefa with the words of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he retracted from his own words, and spoke with the words of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>’.
