49/17. Chapter:

It is dislike to look down upon a slave

وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ} وَقَالَ: {عَبْدًا مَمْلُوكًا}، {وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَى الْبَابِ} وَقَالَ: {مِنْ فَتَيَاتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ} وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُومُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ». وَ{اذْكُرْنِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ} سَيِّدِكَ: «وَمَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ».And also marry the Salihun (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves)... (V.24:32) And Allah said, "A slave (disbeliever) under the possession of another" (V.16:75) "... They both found her lord (i.e., her husband) at the door..." (V.12:25) "... believing girls [from among those (slaves) whom you right hands possess]..." (V.4:25) And the Prophet ﷺ said, "Get up for your master." Allah says: "...Mention me to your lord (i.e., your king so as to get me out of the prison)..." (V.12:42) (The Prophet ﷺ said), "And who is your master?"(1)

Sahih BukhariHadith Number 2553

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَصِيبًا لَهُ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ، فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ قِيمَتَهُ، يُقَوَّمُ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ، وَأُعْتِقَ مِنْ مَالِهِ، وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If one manumits his share of a common slave (Abd), and he has money sufficient to free the remaining portion of the price of the slave (justly estimated), then he should free the slave completely by paying the rest of his price; otherwise the slave is freed partly. "
