Sunan Abi Dawud 3945 (Book 31, Hadith 20) #24235
The Emancipation of Slaves

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the emancipation of a slave and the importance of freeing them.

The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Ibn 'Umar through a different chain of transmitters to the same effect as mentioned by Malik. In this version there is no mention of the words "otherwise he will be emancipated to the extent of the first man's share". His version ends "and the slave be thus emancipated," to the same effect as he (Malik) mentioned.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِمَعْنَى مَالِكٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏"‏ وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ انْتَهَى حَدِيثُهُ إِلَى ‏"‏ وَأُعْتِقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ عَلَى مَعْنَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of freeing slaves. It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar, who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. In this tradition, it is mentioned that if someone has two slaves and they are both equal in terms of their rights, then one should free one slave so that they can be emancipated from slavery. This shows us how important it was for Muslims to free slaves and how much value was placed on their freedom. It also teaches us that we should always strive to do what is right and just even when it comes to something as difficult as freeing a slave. We should never forget our responsibility towards those who are less fortunate than us and try our best to help them in any way we can.
