Amr ibn Shu'ayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever enters into a contract of manumission for one hundred uqiyyah and pays all except ten uqiyyah, then that person will still be considered a slave. And if a slave enters into a contract of manumission for one hundred dinars and pays all except ten dinars, then he will also be considered a slave (i.e., he will not be free until the full payment is made)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a person who has entered into a contract of manumission commits an offense liable to a prescribed punishment or becomes entitled to a share in inheritance, then he will be entitled to inheritance in proportion to the part of him that has been freed, and the prescribed punishment will also be applied to him in proportion to the part of him that has been freed."

Saeed bin Abu Saeed Maqbari narrates from his father: A woman from Banu Laith bought me from the market of Dhu al-Majaz for seven hundred dirhams. Then, when I came, she made a contract of kitabah with me for forty thousand dirhams. I paid most of it, and when only a little was left, I brought it to her and said, "Take your remaining amount." She replied, "By Allah! I will not take it like this, rather I will take it every month or every year." I took her to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned this matter to him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Deposit it in the Bayt al-Mal (public treasury)." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called the woman and said, "Your money is deposited in the Bayt al-Mal. Abu Saeed is now free. Now it is up to you; if you wish, you may receive it from the Bayt al-Mal every month or every year." The narrator states: It was sent to her, and she received it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person who has entered into a contract of emancipation (kitabah), for the portion in which he has become free, he will pay the blood money of a free person, and for the portion in which he remains a slave, he will pay the blood money of a slave."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the verdict regarding a mukatab (a slave with a contract of manumission) who was killed, that the amount of blood money (diyah) corresponding to the portion he had paid from his contract would be calculated as the diyah of a free man, and the remaining portion for which payment was still due would be calculated as the diyah of a slave.

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person owns a share in a slave or a slave-girl and he frees his share, then it becomes obligatory upon him to free the remaining shares of that slave or slave-girl from the other owners as well. The value will be assessed justly, and he will pay his partners according to the value of their shares. He will free that slave or slave-girl, but this is only when the person freeing has enough wealth to pay the value of his partners' shares."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, the value of the slave will be assessed fairly, and then that person will pay his co-owners their share, and the slave will be considered free on behalf of that person, if he is affluent. Otherwise, only the portion that he freed will be free on his behalf, and the remaining portion of the slave will remain as a slave."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a slave is jointly owned by two men, and one of them frees his share, then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'That person will be responsible (for the rest).'”The narrator named Hisham has agreed with this narration and did not mention that the slave would be made to work for wages. Shu’bah and Hisham, in narrating from Qatadah, are more reliable than other narrators. The narrator named Hammam, while narrating this tradition, mentioned that Qatadah said: "Such a slave will be made to work for wages." He mentioned this statement of Qatadah separately from the words of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas other narrators have attributed the command of making the slave work for wages to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through Qatadah. I believe that those narrators are mistaken in this matter, because this narration is different from the narration transmitted by Shu’bah and Hisham.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a similar manner, that this is the same narration as Shuba has transmitted; he did not mention Nadr bin Anas in its chain of narration.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man freed his share in a slave, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved his act of freeing and ordered him to pay the remaining value of the slave as compensation. Qatadah says: If the person does not possess wealth, then the slave will be made to work for wages, however, he will not be subjected to hardship in this matter. Nishapuri has stated that the best narration is the one transmitted by Hammam, and he has clarified the difference between the statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the saying of Qatadah.
