حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ، فَكَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ، قُوِّمَ الْعَبْدُ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ فَأَعْطَى شُرَكَاءَهُ حِصَصَهُمْ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِلَاّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ.
Narrated 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنه : Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave and he has sufficient money to manumit him completely, should let its price be estimated by a just man and give his partners the price of their shares and manumit the slave; otherwise (i.e. if he has not sufficient money) he manumits the slave partially." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 698, Vol. 3 )
20/1. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شَقِيصًا مِنْ مَمْلُوكِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ خَلَاصُهُ فِي مَالِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ قُوِّمَ الْمَمْلُوكُ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتُسْعِيَ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقٍ عَلَيْهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative for him to get that slave manumitted completely by paying the remaining price, and if he does not have sufficient money to manumit him, then the price of the slave should be estimated justly, and he is to be allowed to work and earn the amount that will manumit him (without overburdening him)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 672, Vol. 3)
20/2. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَاءَتْ تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي كِتَابَتِهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَضَتْ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهَا شَيْئًا قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ: ارْجِعِي إِلَى أَهْلِكِ فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ وَيَكُونَ وَلَاؤُكِ لِي فَعَلْتُ فَذَكَرَتْ ذلِكَ بَرِيرَةُ َلأهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا، وَقَالُوا: إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَحْتَسِبَ عَلَيْكِ فَلْتَفْعَلْ وَيَكُونَ وَلَاؤُكِ لَنَا؛ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: ابْتَاعِي فَأَعْتِقِي، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ قَالَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ أُنَاسٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كَتَابِ اللهِ، مَنِ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شَرَطَ مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ، شَرْطُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ وَأَوْثَقُ.
Barîra came to seek her help in her writing of emancipation (for a certain sum) and that time she had not paid anything of it. ‘Aisha said to her, “Go back to your masters, and if they agree that I will pay the amount of your writing of emancipation and get your Walâ ’, I will do so.”Barîra informed her master of that but they refused and said, “If she (i.e. ‘Aisha) is seeking Allâh’s reward, then she can do so, but your Walâ ’ will be for us.” ‘Aisha mentioned that to Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ who said to her, “Buy and manumit her, as the Walâ ’ is for the liberator.”Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ then got up and said, “What about the people who stipulate things which are not present in Allâh’s Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which are not present in Allâh’s Laws, then those conditions will be invalid, even if he imposed those conditions a hundred times. Allâh’s Conditions (Laws) are the truth and are more solid.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 735-B, Vol. 3 )
حديث عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ: إِحْدَى السُّنَنِ أَنَّهَا أُعْتِقَتْ فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي زَوْجِهَا، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْبُرْمَةُ تَفُورُ بِلَحْمٍ، فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَأُدْمٌ مِنْ أُدْمِ الْبَيْتِ؛ ⦗١٣٠⦘ فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ أَرَ الْبُرْمَةَ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ قَالُوا: بَلَى، وَلكِنْ ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، وَأَنْتَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ؛ قَالَ: عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ.
Three traditions were established concerning that in which Barîra was involved: When she was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband or leave him; Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “The Walâ ’ [1] is for the one who manumits.”Once Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ entered the house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some soup of the house were placed before him. He said, "I don't see the pot containing meat." They said, "Yes, but that meat was given to Barîra in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what is given in charity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "That meat is a charity for her, but for us it is a present." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 202, Vol. 7 )

حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: نَهى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ.
Allâh's Messenger ﷺ forbade the selling or conferring on others of the Walâ' of a freed slave. ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 712, Vol. 3 )
20/4. Chapter:
حديث عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رضي الله عنها، خَطَبَ عَلَى مِنْبَرٍ مِنْ آجُرٍّ وَعلَيْهِ سَيْفٌ فِيهِ صَحِيفَةٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا مِنْ كِتَابٍ يُقْرَأُ إِلَاّ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَمَا فِي هذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ، فَنَشَرَهَا؛ فَإِذَا فِيهَا: أَسْنَانُ الإِبِلِ، وَإِذَا فِيهَا: الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مِنْ عَيْرٍ إِلَى كَذَا فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَة اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا، وَإِذَا فِيهِ: ذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمينَ وَاحِدَةٌ، يَسْعى بِهَا أَدْنَاهُمْ، ⦗١٣١⦘ فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا، وَإِذَا فِيهَا: مَنْ وَالَى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا.
'Alî رضي الله عنه addressed us while he was standing on a brick pulpit and carrying a sword from which was hanging a scroll. He said, "By Allâh, we have no book to read except Allâh's Book (the Qur'ân) and whatever is on this scroll." And then he unrolled it, and behold, in it was written what sort of camels were to be given as blood money, and there was also written in it: 'Al-Madîna is a sanctuary from A'er (mountain) to such and such place, so whoever innovates in it a heresy or commits a sin therein, he will incur the Curse of Allâh, the angels, and all the people, and Allâh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds.'There was also written in it: 'The asylum (pledge of protection) granted by any Muslim is one and the same (even a Muslim of the lowest status) is to be secured and respected by all the other Muslims and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect (by violating the pledge) will incur the Curse of Allâh, the angels, and all the people, and Allâh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds.'There was also written on it: 'Whoever (freed slave) takes as masters other than his real masters (manumitters) without their permission will incur the Curse of Allâh, the angels, and all the people, and Allâh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds.' (Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 403, Vol. 9)
20/5. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ امْرَءًا مُسْلِمًا اسْتَنْقَذَاللهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever manumits a Muslim slave, Allâh will save all the parts of his body from the (Hell) Fire as he has manumitted the body-parts of the slave." (Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 693, Vol. 3)
