Home Hadith Hadith 2405
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever manumits his share o a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative on him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to pay the rest of its price which is to be
estimated justly. He should pay his partners their shares and release him (the freed one).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 47, Hadith 19
← Previous Hadith
that his mother Zainab bint Humaid took him to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Take the
pledge of allegiance from him." But he said, "He is still too young for the pledge," and passed his
hand on his (i.e. `Abdullah's) head and invoked for Allah's blessing for him. Zuhra bin Ma`bad stated
that he used to go with his grandfather, `Abdullah bin Hisham, to the market to buy foodstuff. Ibn
`Umar and Ibn Az-Zubair would meet him and say to him, "Be our partner, as the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked
Allah to bless you." So, he would be their partner, and very often he would win a camel's load and
send it home.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, it is essential for him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money. Otherwise he should look for some work for
the slave (to earn what would enable him to emancipate himself), without overburdening him with
work."
