Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says that a man from Ansar died leaving many young children. He left no property except six slaves. At the time of death he be had freed all of them. When the Messenger of Allah (S) was informed of this, he asked,

“What have you done with him?”

“We have buried him”, replied the people

The Messenger of Allah (S) said,

“If I had known it, I would not have allowed him to be interred with Muslims because this man has compelled his children to beg from the people.”
