nasai-kubra:4935Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm

[Machine] Narrated from the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Whoever frees a slave from his owned property and has enough wealth to cover its value, then he is a freer. And perhaps he said, 'And if he does not have wealth, then he has freed from him what he has freed.' And perhaps he did not say it, and my greatest assumption is that it is something said by Nafi' before him."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٩٣٥أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِقْصًا فِي مَمْلُوكٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ بِقِيمَةِ الْعَدْلِ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ» وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ «وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ» وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَقُلْهُ وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ شَيْءٌ يَقُولُهُ نَافِعٌ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ

bukhari:2524Abū al-Nuʿmān > Ḥammād > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ said, "He who manumits his share of a slave and has money sufficient to free the remaining portion of that slave's price (justly estimated) then he should manumit him (by giving the rest of his price to the other co-owners)." Nafiʿ added, "Otherwise the slave is partially free." Aiyub is not sure whether the last statement was said by Nafiʿ or it was a part of the Hadith.  

البخاري:٢٥٢٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ أَوْ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ قِيمَتَهُ بِقِيمَةِ الْعَدْلِ فَهْوَ عَتِيقٌ قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَشَىْءٌ قَالَهُ نَافِعٌ أَوْ شَىْءٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ  

tirmidhi:1346Aḥmad b. Manīʿ > Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

"Whoever frees a portion" or, he said: "a part" or he said: "a share he owns of a slave, then he can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price, then he will be free. Otherwise he has freed as much as he has freed (only)." Ayyub (one of the narrators) said: "Perhaps Nafi said in this Hadith: 'Meaning he has freed as much of him as he has freed.'"  

الترمذي:١٣٤٦حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

ahmad:6279Ibn Numayr And Muḥammad b. ʿUbayd > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: Whoever frees a slave that belongs to him must free him completely, if he has the means to pay his value. But if he does not have the means, then he should free him according to what he can free."  

أحمد:٦٢٧٩حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُهُ كُلُّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ قُوِّمَ [عَلَيْهِ] قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ

Otherwise he has freed as much as he has freed (only)." Ayyub (one of the narrators) said: "Perhaps Nafi said in this Hadith: 'Meaning he has freed as much of him as he has freed.'"
