Section 4 – Emancipation of a Portion Belonging to Someone Who Has an Interest in a Slave
According to the report of his father, Abu al-Walid (Usama bin Umayr): A man freed a share he had in a slave and related this to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “Allah has no partner; (this slave is) freed.”
In the narration transmitted by Ibn Kisir in his report, there is an addition: "He permitted the freeing of such a slave."
Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, related:
A person freed his share of a slave. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings upon him, permitted the freeing. And he indebted the one who freed [the slave] to pay for the other shares.
It is narrated on the authority of Katada, may Allah be pleased with him, with a chain of narration identical to that of the preceding hadith: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever emancipates a slave who was jointly owned with another person, then he must free the entire slave.” This is the wording of the narration of Ibn Suwayd.
It is narrated on the authority of Katada, with the same chain of narration as the preceding hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever emancipates his share in a slave, then he emancipates all of it.”
Ibn Musa did not mention Nadr bin Anas. This is the wording of the hadith narrated by Ibn Suwayd.
