[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever sets free a slave that he owns and he has enough wealth to pay the slave's price, he should give the slave's partners their shares and set the slave free. If not, then he has set free what he could from him." He said, "Yes."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ الْعَدْلِ فَأُعْطِيَ شُرَكَاؤُهُ حِصَصَهُمْ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever frees a portion of a slave or a share in a partnership, then he will have from that slave or partnership an amount of wealth equal to the value of justice. He will be considered a free person." He said, "I do not know if this is a hadith from the Prophet, ﷺ , or something that Nafi' said. If it is not something that Nafi' said, then he has freed what he has freed." They have reported it in Sahih like this, and it contains an apparent indication that he was unsure about it. Malik ibn Anas, may Allah have mercy on him, confirmed it as a hadith from the Prophet, ﷺ , so the ruling is in accordance with his view. As for the preference of Malik's memorization, it is with the majority of the people of hadith, as Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said. 21355 Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq informed us, Isma'il ibn Ishaq informed us, 'Ali ibn Al-Madinri said, "Abdur-Rahman ibn Mahdi would not give precedence to anyone over Malik." 21356 Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, I heard Abu Al-Hasan Al-'Anazi say, I heard 'Uthman ibn Sa'id Ad-Darimi say, "I asked Yahya ibn Ma'in, 'Is Malik more beloved to you than Nafi' or 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Umar?' He said, 'Malik.' I said, 'And what about Ayub As-Sakhtiani?' He said, 'Malik.'" 21357 Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Muhammad ibn 'Ukht ibn Abu 'Awana informed us, my maternal uncle informed me, Al-Maimuni said, "I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in and Ahmad ibn Hanbal, both of them, say, 'Malik was one of the most trustworthy people in his hadith.'" Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, "O Abu Al-Hasan, it does not matter if you do not ask about a man who narrates from Malik, especially if he is from Madinah." 21358 Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-Hairi say, I heard Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad Al-Qabani say, I heard 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Umar Al-Qawariri say, 'I heard Hammad ibn Zaid say, 'I heard Ayyub As-Sakhtiani say, "Malik had a special chain with Nafi' during his lifetime.'" 21359 Abu Al-Husayn Ibn Al-Fadl Al-Qattan informed us in Baghdad, 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far told us, Ya'qub ibn Sufyan informed me, Muhammad ibn Abi Ruqayn informed me, Ibn Wahb informed me, Malik said, "Yahya ibn Sa'id asked me to compile one hundred hadiths from the hadiths of Ibn Shihab and select them for him, so I wrote those hadiths for him until I filled the book and explained them to him." Malik said, "And a man said, 'I used to learn from him until the day he died. He would come to me and ask me questions.' As for the concurrence of the ones who agreed with Malik on this addition..."

If anyone emancipates his share in a slave, he should emancipate him completely if he has enough money to pay the full price ; but if he has none, he will be emancipated to the extent of his share. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3943)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُهُ كُلُّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ أَعْتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا أَعْتَقَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever frees a slave that he owns, then his freedom is upon him in its entirety. If he has wealth that is sufficient for its price, then he should free him completely. But if he does not have wealth, then he should free him according to the value of justice, meaning he should free him as much as he can." This is a statement of Ibn Numayr, and in the narrations of Abu Bakr and Uthman, it is upon him to free him completely if he has wealth that is sufficient for its price. But if he does not have wealth, then he should establish a fair value for him, meaning he should free him as much as he can.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُهُ كُلُّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ أَعْتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ هَذَا حَدِيثُ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُثْمَانَ فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُهُ كُلُّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ يُقَوَّمُ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ يَعْنِي عَلَى الْمُعْتَقِ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If one manumits his share of a common slave (Abd), and he has money sufficient to free the remaining portion of the price of the slave (justly estimated), then he should free the slave completely by paying the rest of his price; otherwise the slave is freed partly. " (Using translation from Bukhārī 2553)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا فِي عَبْدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ قَدْرُ مَا يَبْلُغُ قِيمَتَهُ قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever frees a partner in his slave, and establishes upon him a just value, then his partners are given their share, even if the slave was difficult to buy out. Otherwise, he is to free from him what he freed and distribute what remains. As for the statement of Imran bin Husain regarding the invalidity of istisqa'a..."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ فَأُعْطِيَ شُرَكَاؤُهُ وَقَدْ عَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ إِنْ كَانَ مُوسِرًا وَإِلَّا عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ وَرَّقَ مَا بَقِيَ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ بِإِبْطَالِ الِاسْتِسْعَاءِ  

'Imran b. Husain reported that a person who had no other property emancipated six slaves of his at the time of his death. Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for them and divided them into three sections, cast lots amongst them, and set two free and kept four in slavery; and he (the Holy Prophet) spoke severely of him. (Using translation from Muslim 1668a)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةَ مَمْلُوكِينَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَزَّأَهُمْ أَثْلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً وَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا
