Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ الْعَدْلِ فَأَعْطَى شُرَكَاءَهُ حِصَصَهُمْ وَأُعْتِقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلاَّ فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ " . .
Translation
Al-Qaʿnabi narrated to us, from Malik, from Nafiʿ, from ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever frees his share in an enslaved person, a fair valuation is made, and he pays his partners their shares; then the slave is freed completely. Otherwise, only the portion freed by him is free.’
