Hadith 5265
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَوَّمُ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ فَيُعْطَى شُرَكَاؤُهُ حَقَّهُمْ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مَا عَتَقَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, 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, while he possesses wealth equal to the value of that slave, then the slave’s value will be assessed justly, and by paying the partners the value of their shares, the slave will be declared free. Otherwise, only the portion that the person has freed will be emancipated in that slave.
Hadith 5266
عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا لَهُ فِي إِنْسَانٍ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٍ كُلِّفَ عِتْقَ بَقِيَّتِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ يُعْتِقُهُ بِهِ فَقَدْ جَازَ مَا عَتَقَ
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, that person will be made responsible for the entire price of the slave. But if he does not have enough wealth to free the whole slave, then only the portion he has freed will be emancipated.

عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ فَأَعْتَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُوسِرًا قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةٌ لَا وَكْسَ وَلَا شَطَطَ ثُمَّ يُعْتَقُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two men own a slave in partnership and one of them frees his share, then if the one who freed is wealthy, the value of the slave will be assessed in such a way that neither less nor more is taken, and then the slave will be set free.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever owns a share in a slave and frees his share, then he must free the entire slave, provided he has enough wealth. And if he does not have wealth, then the slave will be made responsible to earn his full price, but he will not be burdened with hardship in this regard.
