Sunan Abi Dawud 3948 (Book 31, Hadith 23) #24238
Emancipation of Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ did not put the responsibility on a man to emancipate the rest of a slave he had already freed.

Narrated ath-Thalabb: On the authority of his father: A man emancipated his share in a slave. The Prophet did not put the responsibility on him to emancipate the rest. Ahmad said: The name Ibn al-Thalabb is to be pronounced with a ta' (and not with tha). As Shu'bah could not pronounce ta, he said tha.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ التَّلِبِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا لَهُ مِنْ مَمْلُوكٍ فَلَمْ يُضَمِّنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِالتَّاءِ - يَعْنِي التَّلِبَّ - وَكَانَ شُعْبَةُ أَلْثَغَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنِ التَّاءَ مِنَ الثَّاءِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Freeing slaves whenever possible

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about emancipation of slaves. It tells us that if someone has already freed part of a slave, they are not obligated to free the rest. This is an important lesson in justice and fairness, as it shows that we should be careful when making decisions about freeing slaves so that everyone involved is treated fairly. We should also remember that freeing slaves is an act of kindness and mercy, so we should strive to do it whenever possible.

The Prophet Muhammad was known for his justice and fairness in all matters, including those involving slavery. He taught us that even if someone has only partially freed a slave, they are still not responsible for freeing the rest; this shows us how important it is to treat people with respect and kindness regardless of their circumstances or status in life.
