Hadith 5269
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِقْصًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَخَلَاصُهُ فِي مَالِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ اسْتُسْعِيَ الْعَبْدُ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقٍ عَلَيْهِ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a slave, then the entire slave will be freed from his wealth, provided that he has wealth. And if he does not have wealth, then the slave will be made responsible to earn, but he will not be burdened with hardship.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Thus, the slave will be made responsible for earning a livelihood, … . This can have two meanings: (1) The slave will be given the opportunity to earn, so that he may accumulate the price for the share of the other partner, and then, by giving it to him, attain his freedom. (2) The portion of the slave that has not been freed, he will serve the other master in proportion to that share; for example, if he has been half-freed, then he will serve the other owner for half the day, and spend the remaining half of the day as a free man.
