Manumission of Slaves as Compensation

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ manumitted a slave in compensation for having been castrated by his owner.

It was narrated from Salamah bin Rawh bin Zinba', that : his grandfather came to the Prophet and he had castrated a slave of his. The Prophet manumitted the slave in compensation for having been mutilated.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ رَوْحِ بْنِ زِنْبَاعٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَقَدْ خَصَى غُلاَمًا لَهُ فَأَعْتَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ بِالْمُثْلَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of justice and fairness in Islam. It is narrated that a man came to the Prophet with a slave he had castrated, and the Prophet ordered him to set the slave free as compensation for having been mutilated. This shows that Islam does not condone any form of injustice or oppression, even if it is done against slaves. Furthermore, it teaches us that we should always strive for justice and fairness in our dealings with others, regardless of their social status or position. We should also be willing to make amends when we have wronged someone else, even if they are our slaves or servants.
