[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..."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever frees his share of a common slave and he has sufficient money to free him completely, should let its price be estimated by a just man and give his partners the price of their shares and manumit the slave; otherwise (i.e. if he has not sufficient money) he manumits the slave partially."

If anyone emancipates his share ina slave and has enough money to pay the full price for him, a fair price for the slave should be fixed, his partners given their shares, and the slave be thus emancipated, otherwise he is emancipated only to the extent of the first man's share.  

مسلم:١٥٠١a – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ حَدَّثَكَ نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

muslim:1501c – Yaḥyá b. Yaḥyá > Limālik Ḥaddathak Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

He who gives up his share in a slave, and has enough money to pay the full price of the slave, then full emancipation devolves upon him; but if he has not the money, then he emancipated what he emancipated.  

مسلم:١٥٠١c – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ حَدَّثَكَ نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

ibnmajah:2528b – Yaḥyá b. Ḥakīm > ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Mālik b. Anas > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

“Whoever frees his share of a slave, the price of the slave should be fairly evaluated, and he (the partner who initiated this process) should free him (in full, by giving the rest of his price to the other co-owners), if he has enough wealth to do so. Otherwise, he will have freed whatever he freed.”  

ابن ماجة:٢٥٢٨b – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

malik:38-1 – Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid, "If a man frees his share of a slave and has enough money to cover the full price of the slave justly evaluated for him, he must buy out his partners so that the slave is completely freed. If he doesn't have the money, he partially frees him.  

مالك:٣٨-١ – حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قالَ: «مَن أعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ. فَكانَ لَهُ مالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ العَبْدِ، قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ العَدْلِ. فَأعْطى شُرَكاءَهُ حِصَصَهُمْ. وعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ العَبْدُ. وإلّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنهُ ما عَتَقَ»  

ahmad:397 – Isḥāq b. ʿĪsá > Mālik > Nāfiʿʿan Ibn ʿUmar

“If a person frees his share of a slave, and has enough Money to pay the full price of the slave, a fair price should be worked out for the slave, and his partners should be given their shares, then he may free the slave, otherwise he has freed only what he has freed.”  

أحمد:٣٩٧ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
