3938. It was narrated from Yazīd, (meaning Ibn Zurai‘ and) Muḥammad bin Bishr – and this is
his wording – from Sa‘eed bin Abī ‘Arūbah, from Qatādah, from An-Nadr bin Anas, from Bashīr bin Nahik, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Whoever manumits his share in a slave, he should manumit him completely from his own wealth if he has wealth. If he does not have wealth, then a fair price should be determined for the slave, then he should be asked to work for his master in order to pay off that price, without being overburdened.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwūd said: Both of their narrations contain: “he should be asked to work without overburdening him” And this is the wording of ‘Ali.
