Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying:If anyone emancipates a share in his slave, he should completely emancipate him if he has money; but if he has none, then slave will be required to work (to pay for his freedom), but he must not be overburdenedAbu Huraira رضي الله عنه rapporte que le Prophète ﷺ a dit : « Si quelqu’un affranchit une part de son esclave, il doit l’affranchir complètement s’il a de l’argent ; mais s’il n’en a pas, l’esclave devra travailler (pour payer sa liberté), mais il ne doit pas être surchargé. »Grades given by scholars
