Sahih Muslim 1501g (Book 27, Hadith 76) #11440
Emancipation of Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if a person emancipates a slave, the full price should be assessed from his wealth and the slave will be freed if the partner is able to forgo their share.

Salim b. 'Abdullah reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle said: He who emancipates a slave (shared) by him and another one, his full price may be justly assessed from his wealth, neither less nor more, and he (the slave) would be emancipated if he (the partner) would be solvent enough (to forgo the amount of his share).
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ آخَرَ قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَالِهِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ لاَ وَكْسَ وَلاَ شَطَطَ ثُمَّ عَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَالِهِ إِنْ كَانَ مُوسِرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about emancipation of slaves, which was practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and continued during Islamic times as well. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH taught that when emancipating a slave, one should assess its full price from their wealth and not less or more than that amount. If both partners are able to forgo their share then the slave will be freed without any payment being made by either party. This hadith also teaches us about justice and fairness in our dealings with others, as we must ensure that all parties involved are treated fairly and justly according to Islamic teachings. It also encourages us to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves by freeing them from slavery whenever possible.
