'Abdullah bin Ja'far had offered him ten thousand Dirhams or
one-thousand Dinars.

Narrated Abu Dhar:
I asked the Prophet, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To
believe in Allah and to fight for His Cause." I then asked, "What is
the best kind of manumission (of slaves)?" He replied, "The
manumission of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his
master." I said, "If I cannot afford to do that?" He said, "Help the
weak or do good for a person who cannot work for himself." I said,
"If I cannot do that?" He said, "Refrain from harming others for
this will be regarded as a charitable deed for your own good."

should manumit him completely (not partially) if he is rich after
having its price evaluated."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever frees his share of a common slave and
he has sufficient money to free 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."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 699
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever manumits his share of a slave, then
it is essential for him to get that slave manumitted' completely as
long as he has the money to do so. If he has not sufficient money to
pay the price of the other shares (after the price of the slave is
evaluated justly), the manumitted manumits the slave partially in
proportion to his share.

The Prophet said, "He who manumits his share of a slave and has
money sufficient to free the remaining portion of that slave's price
(justly estimated) then he should manumit him (by giving the rest of
his price to the other co-owners)." Nafi' added, "Otherwise the
slave is partially free." Aiyub is not sure whether the last
statement was said by Nafi' or it was a part of the Hadith.
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 702
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
That he used to give his verdict regarding the male or female slaves
owned by more than one master, one of whom may manumit his share of
the slave. Ibn 'Umar used to say in such a case, "The manumitted
should manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to
pay the rest of the price of that slave (which is to be justly
estimated) and the other share-holders are to take the price of
their shares and the slave is freed (released from slavery)." Ibn
'Umar narrated this verdict from the Prophet.

without hardship till he pays the rest of his price."

The Prophet said, "The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and
every person will get the reward according to what he intends. So,
whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migration will
be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever migrated for worldly
benefits or for marrying a woman, then his migration will be for
what he migrated for." (See Hadith No. 1, Vol. 1)

Narrated Qais:
When Abu Huraira accompanied by his slave set out intending to
embrace Islam they lost each other on the way. The slave then came
while Abu Huraira was sitting with the Prophet. The Prophet said, "O
Abu Huraira! Your slave has come back." Abu Huraira said, "Indeed, I
would like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened
at the time when Abu Huraira recited (the following poetic verse):--
'What a long tedious tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has delivered
us From the land of Kufr (disbelief).
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 708
Narrated Abu Huraira:
On my way to the Prophet I was reciting:-- 'What a long tedious
tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has saved us From the land of Kufr
(disbelief).' I had a slave who ran away from me on the way. When I
went to the Prophet and gave the pledge of allegiance for embracing
Islam, the slave showed up while I was still with the Prophet who
remarked, "O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave!" I said, "I manumit
him for Allah's Sake," and so I freed him.

Narrated 'Aisha:
Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sad bin Abi Waqqas to
take the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody, telling
him that the boy was his own (illegal) son. When Allah's Apostle
went (to Mecca) at the time of the Conquest, Sad took the son of the
slavegirl of Zam'a to Allah's Apostle and also brought 'Abu bin
Zam'a with him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is the son of my
brother 'Utba who authorized me to take him into my custody." 'Abu
bin Zam'a said, "O Allah's Apostle! He is my brother, the son of
Zam'a' slave-girl and he was born on his bed." Allah's Apostle
looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed much
resemblance (to 'Utba). Allah's Apostle said, "It is for you, O 'Abu
bin Zam'a as he was born on the bed of your father." Allah's Apostle
then told Sauda bint Zam'a to observe veil in the presence of the
boy as he noticed the boy's resemblance to 'Utba and Sauda was the
wife of the Prophet .

I bought Buraira but her masters put the condition that her Wala'
would be for them. I told the Prophet about it. He said (to me),
"Manumit her as her Wala' will be for the one who pays the price."
So, I manumitted her. The Prophet called Buraira and gave her the
option of either staying with her husband or leaving him. She said,
"Even if he gave me so much money, I would not stay with him," and
so she preferred her freedom to her husband.
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 714
Narrated Anas:

Narrated Hisham:
My father told me that Hakim bin Hizam manumitted one-hundred slaves
in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance and slaughtered one-hundred
camels (and distributed them in charity). When he embraced Islam he
again slaughtered one-hundred camels and manumitted one-hundred
slaves. Hakim said, "I asked Allah's Apostle, 'O Allah's Apostle!
What do you think about some good deeds I used to practice in the
prelslamic period of ignorance regarding them as deeds of
righteousness?' Allah's Apostle said, "You have embraced Islam along
with all those good deeds you did."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 716
Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet and
they requested him to return their properties and captives. The
Prophet stood up and said to them, "I have other people with me in
this matter (as you see) and the most beloved statement to me is the
true one; you may choose either the properties or the prisoners as I
have delayed their distribution." The Prophet had waited for them
for more than ten days since his arrival from Ta'if. So, when it
became evident to them that the Prophet was not going to return them
except one of the two, they said, "We choose our prisoners." The
Prophet got up amongst the people and glorified and praised Allah as
He deserved and said, "Then after, these brethren of yours have come
to us with repentance, and I see it logical to return them the
captives. So, whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then
he can do it, and whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we
recompense him from the very first war booty which Allah will give
us, then he can do so (i.e. give up the present captives)." The
people unanimously said, "We do that (return the captives)
willingly." The Prophet said, "We do not know which of you has
agreed to it and which have not, so go back and let your leaders
forward us your decision." So, all the people then went back and
discussed the matter with their leaders who returned and informed
the Prophet that all the people had willingly given their consent to
return the captives. This is what has reached us about the captives
of Hawazin. Narrated Anas that 'Abbas said to the Prophet, "I paid
for my ransom and Aqil's ransom."

Narrated Ibn Aun:
I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that
the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning
while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the
places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and
children were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that
day. Nafi said that Ibn 'Umar had told him the above narration and
that Ibn 'Umar was in that army.
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 718
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:
I saw Abu Said and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Said
said, "We went with Allah's Apostle, in the Ghazwa of Barli
Al-Mustaliq and we captured some of the 'Arabs as captives, and the
long separation from our wives was pressing us hard and we wanted to
practice coitus interruptus. We asked Allah's Apostle (whether it
was permissible). He said, "It is better for you not to do so. No
soul, (that which Allah has) destined to exist, up to the Day of
Resurrection, but will definitely come, into existence."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 719
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani Tamim ever since I
heard, three things, Allah's Apostle said about them. I heard him
saying, These people (of the tribe of Bani Tamim) would stand firm
against Ad-Dajjal." When the Sadaqat (gifts of charity) from that
tribe came, Allah's Apostle said, "These are the Sadaqat (i.e.
charitable gifts) of our folk." 'Aisha had a slave-girl from that
tribe, and the Prophet said to 'Aisha, "Manumit her as she is a
descendant of Ishmael (the Prophet)."

wearing a cloak. We asked him about that (i.e. how both were wearing
similar cloaks). He replied, "Once I abused a man and he complained
of me to the Prophet . The Prophet asked me, 'Did you abuse him by
slighting his mother?' He added, 'Your slaves are your brethren upon
whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's brethren
under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one
eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears. You should not
overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do so, help
them (in their hard job)."

slave is freed partly. "
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 730
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Everyone of you is a guardian and is
responsible for his charges. The ruler who has authority over
people, is a guardian and is responsible for them, a man is a
guardian of his family and is responsible for them; a woman is a
guardian of her husband's house and children and is responsible for
them; a slave ('Abu) is a guardian of his master's property and is
responsible for it; so all of you are guardians and are responsible
for your charges."

for a hair rope."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 733
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Everyone of you is a guardian
and is responsible for his charge; the ruler is a guardian and is
responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian in his family
and responsible for his charges; a woman is a guardian of her
husband's house and responsible for her charges; and the servant is
a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for his
charge." I definitely heard the above from the Prophet and think
that the Prophet also said, "A man is a guardian of his father's
property and responsible for his charges; so everyone of you is a
guardian and responsible for his charges."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 734
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If somebody fights (or beats somebody) then he
should avoid the face."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 735
Narrated 'Urwa:
That 'Aisha told him that Buraira 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 Wala', I will do so." Buraira
informed her masters of that but they refused and said, "If she
(i.e. 'Aisha) is seeking Allah's reward, then she can do so, but
your Wala' will be for us." 'Aisha mentioned that to Allah's Apostle
who said to her, "Buy and manumit her, as the Wala' is for the
liberator." Allah's Apostle then got up and said, "What about the
people who stipulate conditions which are not present in Allah's
Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which are not present in Allah's
Laws, then those conditions will be invalid, even if he imposed
these conditions a hundred times. Allah's conditions (Laws) are the
truth and are more solid."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 736
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Aisha wanted to buy a slave-girl in order to manumit her. The girl's
masters stipulated that her Wala' would be for them. Allah's Apostle
said (to 'Aisha), "What they stipulate should not stop you, for the
Wala' is for the liberator."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 737
Narrated Aisha:
Buraira came (to 'Aisha) and said, "I have made a contract of
emancipation with my masters for nine Uqiyas (of gold) to be paid in
yearly installments. Therefore, I seek your help." 'Aisha said, "If
your masters agree, I will pay them the sum at once and free you on
condition that your Wala' will be for me." Buraira went to her
masters but they refused that offer. She (came back) and said, "I
presented to them the offer but they refused, unless the Wala' was
for them." Allah's Apostle heard of that and asked me about it, and
I told him about it. On that he said, "Buy and manumit her and
stipulate that the Wala' should be for you, as Wala' is for the
liberator." 'Aisha added, "Allah's Apostle then got up amongst the
people, Glorified and Praised Allah, and said, 'Then after: What
about some people who impose conditions which are not present in
Allah's Laws? So, any condition which is not present in Allah's Laws
is invalid even if they were one-hundred conditions. Allah's
ordinance is the truth, and Allah's condition is stronger and more
solid. Why do some men from you say, O so-and-so! manumit the slave
but the Wala will be for me? Verily, the Wala is for the liberator."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 738
Narrated Amra bint 'AbdurRahman:
Buraira went to Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers to seek
her help in her emancipation Aisha said to her, "If your masters
agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit you."
Buraira mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to sell
her unless the Wala' was for them. 'Aisha told Allah's Apostle about
it. He said, "Buy and manumit her as the Wala' is for the liberator."
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 739
Narrated 'Abdul Wahid bin Aiman:
I went to 'Aisha and said, "I was the slave of Utba bin Abu Lahab.
"Utba died and his sons became my masters who sold me to Ibn Abu Amr
who manumitted me. The sons of 'Utba stipulated that my Wala' should
be for them." 'Aisha said, "Buraira came to me and she was given the
writing of emancipation by her masters and she asked me to buy and
manumit her. I agreed to it, but Buraira told me that her masters
would not sell her unless her Wala' was for them." 'Aisha said, "I
am not in need of that." When the Prophet heard that, or he was told
about it, he asked 'Aisha about it. 'Aisha mentioned what Buraira
had told her. The Prophet said, "Buy and manumit her and let them
stipulate whatever they like." So, 'Aisha bought and manumitted her
and her masters stipulated that her Wala' should be for them." The
Prophet;, said, "The Wala' will be for the liberator even if they
stipulated a hundred conditions."
