It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a slave, while he possesses wealth equal to the value of that slave, then the slave’s value will be assessed justly, and by paying the partners the value of their shares, the slave will be declared free. Otherwise, only the portion that the person has freed will be emancipated in that slave.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, that person will be made responsible for the entire price of the slave. But if he does not have enough wealth to free the whole slave, then only the portion he has freed will be emancipated.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two men own a slave in partnership and one of them frees his share, then if the one who freed is wealthy, the value of the slave will be assessed in such a way that neither less nor more is taken, and then the slave will be set free.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever owns a share in a slave and frees his share, then he must free the entire slave, provided he has enough wealth. And if he does not have wealth, then the slave will be made responsible to earn his full price, but he will not be burdened with hardship in this regard.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a slave, then the entire slave will be freed from his wealth, provided that he has wealth. And if he does not have wealth, then the slave will be made responsible to earn, but he will not be burdened with hardship.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that when a man freed his share in a slave, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the complete emancipation of the slave and made the remaining price obligatory upon that man.

Abu Mulaikh narrates from his father that a man from Banu Huzail freed his share in a slave. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The entire slave has become free; there is no partner with Allah Almighty.

Umayyah’s grandfather, Sayyiduna Amr bin Saeed bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that they had a slave named Tahman or Dhakwan. The grandfather freed his share, which was half of the slave. When that slave came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Alright, you are free to the extent of your freedom, and you remain a slave to the extent of your slavery.”Then he continued to serve his master until he passed away. The narrator, Abdur Razzaq, said: Mu’ammar bin Houshab was a pious man.

It is narrated from Saeed bin Musayyib, he says: We have memorized this from thirty companions that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a slave, he will also be responsible for the remaining price.
