2525 - حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ» بَابُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا وَاشْتَرَطَ خِدْمَتَهُ

Commentary
An example of a Mahram relative becoming master is explained in the following example: Suppose there were two slave brothers, one of them was freed and later on he bought his brother. The second one will be freed because he is a Mahram relative. A Mahram relative cannot become a master. The same rule applies to a mother and son, father and daughter, brother and sister, niece, nephew, parental uncle and parental aunt. Right of property is through any mean - by payment, by way of gift, or inheritance - a slave or slave girl will be freed.
