Sahih Muslim 1503d
وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شَقِيصًا مِنْ مَمْلُوكٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ مِنْ مَالِهِ ‏"
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are):

" He who emancipates a portion in a slave, he should (secure full) freedom for him from his property."
