Sunan Abi Dawud 3962 (Book 31, Hadith 37) #24252
Property Rights of Emancipated Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if a slave is emancipated, the property of the slave belongs to them unless the master makes a stipulation.

'Abd Allah b. 'Umar reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone emancipates a slave who has property, the property of the slave belongs to him except that the master makes a stipulation.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُ الْعَبْدِ لَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَهُ السَّيِّدُ
