The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Qilabah through a different chain of narrators on the authority of Imran bin Husain to the same effect. But in this version he did not mention "He spoke severely of them. "

Imran bin Hussain said: A man who had no other property emancipated six slaves of his at the time of the death. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed about it, he spoke severely of him. He then called them, divided them into three sections, cast lots among them, and emancipated two and kept four in slavery.
