EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the responsibility of a slave who has fled from his master. It is narrated on the authority of Jarir that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed that when a slave flees from his master, their responsibility with regard to him is absolved. This means that if a slave runs away, they are no longer responsible for them and they are free to go wherever they want without any consequences or repercussions. This hadith teaches us about freedom and justice, as it shows us that even slaves have rights and should not be treated unfairly or unjustly by their masters. It also teaches us about responsibility, as it shows us that we should take care of those under our charge and not neglect them or mistreat them in any way.
