English translation

Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, (ﷺ), that the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), was asked what was the most excellent kind of slave to free. The Messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, answered, "The most expensive and the most valuable to his master."
