وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو يَعْلَى، ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا مِنْ عَبْدٍ أَوْ شِرْكًا كَانَ لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ بِقِيمَةِ الْعَدْلِ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ " قَالَ: فَلَا أَدْرِي أَهُوَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ أَوْ شَيْءٌ قَالَهُ نَافِعٌ: " وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ "؟ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ هَكَذَا، وَفِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ ظَاهِرَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَشُكُّ فِيهِ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أَثْبَتَهُ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَالْحُكْمُ لَهُ دُونَهُ، وَأَمَّا فَضْلُ حِفْظِ مَالِكٍ فَهُوَ عِنْدَ جَمَاعَةِ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ كَمَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ..
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever frees his share in a slave and has wealth equal to the slave's price, a fair value shall be fixed and that slave shall be set free." The narrator said: Is this (part of) the hadith or Nafi's statement: "Otherwise, as much as he freed will be freed"?
Both recorded it this way, and it clearly shows that he was in doubt about it, whereas Malik bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him) established it as part of the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); so the ruling goes with Malik, not with him. As for the excellence of Malik's memory, it is, according to the body of hadith scholars, just as al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said.
