Jami at-Tirmidhi 1347 (Book 15, Hadith 27) #26925
Freeing Slaves with Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ encourages freeing slaves by paying the remainder of their price with one's own wealth.

Salim narrated from his father that the Prophet said: "Whoever frees a portion of a slave he owns, then he can afford the remainder of the price, then he should free him with his wealth".
حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ مِنْ مَالِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to use our resources to free those who are enslaved and oppressed. He also taught us that we should not take advantage of those who are in need or vulnerable, but instead use our resources to help them out of difficult situations. This hadith serves as a reminder that we should always strive to do what is right and just in all matters, even if it means sacrificing some of our own wealth for the benefit of others.
