This Hadīth illustrates that anyone who owns someone who is a close relative to him in such a way that it entails prohibition of marriage, then that person becomes free once he is owned. For example, if someone comes to own his father, mother, sister, aunt, etc. through purchase, gift, booty, or inheritance, they are to be set free.
