Jami at-Tirmidhi 1346 (Book 15, Hadith 26) #26924
Freeing Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that if someone frees a portion of a slave, they can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price and then they will be free.

Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Prophet said: "Whoever frees a portion" or, he said: "a part" or he said: "a share he owns of a slave, then he can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price, then he will be free. Otherwise he has freed as much as he has freed (only)". Ayyub (one of the narrators) said: "Perhaps Nafi said in this Hadith: 'Meaning he has freed as much of him as he has freed'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا - أَوْ قَالَ شِقْصًا أَوْ قَالَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ بِقِيمَةِ الْعَدْلِ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ نَافِعٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَعْنِي فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ سَالِمٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ نَحْوَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Help those in need by freeing slaves when possible

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about freeing slaves. It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar and Ayyub that the Prophet said that whoever frees a portion or part or share he owns of a slave, then he can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price, then he will be free. This means that if someone has enough money to pay for all or part of a slave's freedom, they should do so in order to help them gain their freedom. The Prophet also said that if someone only frees as much as they have freed, it is still considered freeing them from slavery. This hadith teaches us about helping others who are in need and doing what we can to help those who are less fortunate than us. It also shows us how important it is to value human life and dignity above all else.
