Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said said, ''Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Abi Bakr died in his sleep, and A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may

subject."

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 Ubada 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." "'
