Arabic hadith text

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ قُوِّمَ الْعَبْدُ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ فَأُعْطِيَ شُرَكَاؤُهُ حِصَصَهُمْ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ»

Translation

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘Whoever emancipates his share in a slave, and has enough wealth to cover the slave’s full price, the slave shall be assessed at a fair price, his partners shall be given their shares, and the slave shall thereby be emancipated. Otherwise, only the portion of him corresponding to that share is emancipated.’
