What Has Been Related About The Case Of Two Men And One Of Them Lives Downstream From The Other
Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever frees a portion" or, he said: "a part" or he said: "a share he owns of a slave, then he can afford the remainder of the price according to the reasonable price, then he will be free. Otherwise he has freed as much as he has freed (only)." Ayyub (one of the narrators) said: "Perhaps Nafi said in this Hadith: 'Meaning he has freed as much of him as he has freed.'"
