It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever frees his share of a slave, and he has enough wealth to cover the full price of the slave, then the value of the slave will be assessed, the other partners will be given the price of their shares, and the slave will be set free. Otherwise, only the portion that he has freed will remain freed."
