Ibn ‘Abbas said that a man died leaving no heir but a youth whom he had emancipated, and that when the Prophet (ﷺ) asked whether he had any heir and was told that he had none but a youth of his whom he had emancipated, he assigned his estate to him. Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
