Section: The growth of a physical asset (al-'ayn) that is bequeathed, if it is connected—such as gaining weight or learning a trade—is secondary to the asset itself, and it belongs to the legatee if the one-third covers it. If it is detached, such as offspring and fruit during the lifetime of the testator, it belongs to him and passes to his heirs, because it is growth of his property. As for what occurs after death and before acceptance, it depends on who owns the property among the legatees. The correct view is that it belongs to the heirs. The other view is that it belongs to the legatee, so the growth belongs to whomever owns the property.

992 - Issue: He said: "And when he makes bequests that include manumission, and the one-third is insufficient to cover all of them, they shall be allocated the one-third proportionally, and the reduction shall be applied to each one of them according to the amount of his share in the bequest."

As for cases where the bequests are free from manumission and they exceed the one-third, and the heirs reject the excess, the one-third is divided among the legatees according to the size of their bequests. The reduction is applied to each of them in proportion to their share of the bequest, similar to the examples of 'awl (proportional reduction) when the fixed shares exceed the property. For instance, if he bequeathed to one man one-third of his wealth, to another one hundred, to another a specific item valued at fifty, to the ransom of a prisoner thirty, and to the construction of a mosque twenty, while his one-third of the wealth is one hundred: you aggregate all the bequests and find them to be three hundred. You relate the one-third to them and find it to be one-third of their sum, so you give each of them one-third of their bequest. Thus, the owner of the one-third receives one-third of one hundred, and likewise for the owner of the one hundred. The owner of the fifty reverts to one-third of it, the ransom of the prisoner gets ten, and the construction of the mosque gets six and two-thirds. However, if the bequests include manumission, there are two narrations from Ahmad. One of them is that the one-third is divided among all bequests, manumission and others alike, and it is divided among them according to what we have mentioned. This is the opinion of Ibn Sirin, al-Sha'bi, and Abu Thawr, because they are equal in the cause of entitlement, so they are equal in it like all other bequests. The second narration is that manumission is prioritized and begun first; if anything remains of it, it is divided among the other legatees according to the size of their bequests. This was narrated from Umar, and it is the opinion of Shurayh,
