Volume 3, Book 46, Number 701:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “He who manumits his share of a slave and has money sufficient to free the re –
maining portion of that slave’s price (justly estimated) then he should manumit him (by giving the
rest of his price to the other co-owners).” Nafi’ added, “Otherwise the slave is partially free.” Aiyub is
not sure whether the last statement was said by Nafi’ or it was a part of the Hadith.
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 702:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
That he used to give his verdict regarding the male or female slaves owned by more than one mas –
ter, one of whom may manumit his share of the slave. Ibn ‘Umar used to say in such a case, “The ma –
numitted should manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to pay the rest of the price
of that slave (which is to be justly estimated) and the other share-holders are to take the price of
their shares and the slave is freed (released from slavery).” Ibn ‘Umar narrated this verdict from the
Prophet.

I asked the Prophet, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah and to fight for His
Cause.” I then asked, “What is the best kind of manumission (of slaves)?” He replied, “The manumis –
sion of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master.” I said, “If I cannot afford to do
that?” He said, “Help the weak or do good for a person who cannot work for himself.” I said, “If I can –
not do that?” He said, “Refrain from harming others for this will be regarded as a charitable deed for
your own good.”
