Hadith.5495 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa narrated from Abu Hammam Ismail ibn Hammam from Abu Al-Hasan (as) regarding a man who, at the time of his death, made a will bequeathing wealth to his relatives and also freed a slave. However, the total of what he bequeathed exceeded one-third of his estate. He was asked how this should be handled concerning his will.
Imam (as) replied
"The emancipation (of the slave) should be carried out first."
5495 - وَ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي هَمَّامٍ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِمَالٍ لِذَوِي قَرَابَتِهِ وَ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكاً فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ يَزِيدُ عَلَى اَلثُّلُثِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ فَقَالَ "يُبْدَأُ بِالْعِتْقِ فَيُنْفَذُ".
