The Book of Oaths

Salim b. 'Abdullah reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said:He who emancipates a slave (shared) by him and another one, his full price may be justly assessed from his wealth, neither less nor more, and he (the slave) would be emancipated if he (the partner) would be solvent enough (to forgo the amount of his share)

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:He who gives up his share in a slave, the remaining (share) will be paid out of his riches if his riches are enough to meet the price of the slave

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:In case the slave is owned by two persons, and one of them emancipates him, he will guarantee (his full freedom)

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are):" He who emancipates a portion in a slave, he should (secure full) freedom for him from his property

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:He who emancipates his portion in a slave, full emancipation may be secured for him out of his property (if he has money) if he has enough property to meet (the required expenses), but if he has not enough property, the slave should be put to extra labour (in order to earn money for buying his freedom), but he should not be overburdened

This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters (and the words are):" He will be required to work (in order to secure freedom) for that por- tion in which he has not been emancipated, without overburdening him

Imran b. Husain reported that a person who had no other property emancipated six slaves of his at the time of his death. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called for them and divided them into three sections, cast lots amongst them, and set two free and kept four in slavery; and he (the Holy Prophet) spoke severely of him

This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters (and the words are):" A person from among the Ansar willed away the freedom of six slaves of his at the time of his death

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Imran b. Husain through another chain of narrators

Jabir b. 'Abdullah said that a person among the Ansar declared his slave free after his death, as he had no other property. This news reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said:Who will buy him from me? And Nu'aim b. al-Nahham bought him for eight hundred dirhams and he handed them over to him, 'Amr (one of the narrators) said: I heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah as saying: He was a Coptic slave, and he died in the first year (of the Caliphate of 'Abdullah b. Zubair)

Jabir is reported to have said:A person amongst the Ansar who had no other property declared a slave free after his death. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sold him, and Ibn al-Nahham bought him and he was a Coptic slave (who) died in the first year of the Caliphate of Ibn Zubair

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters

This hadith has been narrated from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) through other chains of transmitters
