Fulfill your agreements & contracts

This hadith speaks about the importance of fulfilling agreements and contracts that are made between two parties. It is narrated by 'Amr b. Shu'aib on his father's authority, who reported that the Prophet said if a slave enters into an agreement to buy his freedom for a certain amount of money, he must pay all of it in order to be freed from slavery. If he pays all but ten Uqiyahs or dinars, then he remains a slave until he pays off the remaining amount due. This hadith teaches us that we should always fulfill our agreements and contracts as it is important for us to keep our word and honor our commitments in life. It also shows us how important freedom is and how much effort one has to put into achieving it even when they are enslaved by another person or entity.
