Sunan Ibn Majah 2528 (Book 19, Hadith 17) #31882
Freeing Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if a person frees their share of a slave, they should pay the full price of the slave if they have enough wealth to do so.

It was narrated from Ibn'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever frees his share of a slave, the price of the slave should be fairly evaluated, and he (the partner who initiated this process) should free him (in full, by giving the rest of his price to the other co-owners), if he has enough wealth to do so. Otherwise, he will have freed whatever he freed".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ بِقِيمَةِ عَدْلٍ فَأَعْطَى شُرَكَاءَهُ حِصَصَهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Use your resources for good causes such as freeing slaves and helping those in need

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad's teachings on freeing slaves is an important part of Islamic history and culture. He taught that if someone has enough wealth, they should use it to free their share of a slave. This means that even though one person may not be able to free the entire slave, by contributing what they can, it will eventually lead to the freedom of the entire individual. This hadith also teaches us about fairness and justice in our dealings with others; we must evaluate fairly when determining how much money is needed for someone's freedom. It also encourages us to use our resources for good causes such as freeing slaves and helping those in need.
