"Whoever frees a portion of a slave he owns, then he can afford the remainder of the price, then he should free him with his wealth."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 15, Hadith 27
← Previous Hadith "Whoever frees a portion" or, he said: "a part" or he said: "a share he owns of a slave, then he can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price, then he will be free. Otherwise he has freed as much as he has freed (only)." Ayyub (one of the narrators) said: "Perhaps Nafi said in this Hadith: 'Meaning he has freed as much of him as he has freed.'"

Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 15, Hadith 26 Next Hadith → "Whoever frees a portion" or he said: "a part of a slave, then he should finish paying his price if he can afford it. If he can not afford to pay reasonable price then he should be allowed to work to earn the amount that will free him without overburdening him." (Another chain) similar, and he said: "a part".
