Sunan an-Nasai 4698 (Book 44, Hadith 250) #19231
Freeing Slaves with Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised that if one has the means to do so, they should free a slave completely from their own wealth.

It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever sets free his share of a slave should set him free completely from his own wealth, if he has enough wealth to cover the price of the slave".
أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ أُتِمَّ مَا بَقِيَ فِي مَالِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that if we have the means to do so, we should use our wealth to free slaves. This is an act of charity and kindness which will be rewarded by Allah. It is important for us to remember that freeing slaves is a noble deed and it can be done in many ways such as paying off their debt or buying them out of slavery. We must also remember that this act of kindness should not be done out of pride or arrogance but rather out of compassion and mercy for those who are oppressed and enslaved.
