English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that a man died and left no one to inherit from him. The Prophet ♂ said: "Search." They did not find anyone to inherit from him. So the Prophet ♂ gave his inheritance to a freed slave of his whom the deceased had freed - he who had the wala' (patronage) is the one who freed him.
