SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ allowed the emancipation of a slave and taught that Allah has no partner.

Narrated Abu al-Malih: On his father's authority (this is Abul Walid's version): A man emancipated a share in a slave and the matter was mentioned to the Prophet . He said: Allah has no partner. Ibn Kathir added in his version: The Prophet allowed his emancipation.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، - الْمَعْنَى - أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، - قَالَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَعْتَقَ شِقْصًا لَهُ مِنْ غُلاَمٍ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ لِلَّهِ شَرِيكٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَجَازَ النَّبِيُّ عِتْقَهُ
