Benefits and Issues:
➊ There is a difference of opinion among the hadith scholars regarding the establishment of Hasan al-Basri’s hearing (sama‘) from Samurah ibn Jundub (radi Allahu anhu). However, this hadith is hasan (good), and according to some, sahih (authentic).
➋ The phrase “of a womb-relative who is a mahram” (dha rahimin mahramin) here refers to a deceased father, grandfather, and offspring and their descendants. As soon as ownership is established over them, they will automatically become free. However, there is a difference of opinion regarding other relatives.
