Take marriage seriously , Abolish slavery .

This hadith discusses the issue of marriage in Islam. According to this hadith, it is not permissible for a man to marry both a free woman and a slave-girl at the same time. This ruling was given by two prominent companions of Prophet Muhammad - Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Umar - when they were asked about such an arrangement. The values taught in this hadith are that marriage should be taken seriously as it is an important part of life in Islam; one should not take advantage of their position or status by marrying multiple women; and that slavery should be abolished as much as possible.
