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.
