So according to this rule the term "mā meleket ey'mānu-kum " should be concider as "NO possessing your right hand" and not "what possessed your right hand".
Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your earlier responds.
I would like to share my understanding of this concept that has occupied my mind for a long time. "ma meleket ejmanukum" means what you have gained by swearing, i.e. what you are committed to being responsible for getting it under your control, care, protection, roof. Specifically, this means taking under its protection a weak, unprotected, disenfranchised category of society. And something very IMPORTANT for this Qur'anic concept is that it has a built-in negation (ma meleket - no slavery) where the slave-ownership relationship is annulled and on the other hand it encourages a humanitarian relationship between people with mutual responsibility.

Salam,
Why aymanukum is translated into your right hands? Is it ayman a contraction of yad/yid and ymen/ayman ? ? ?
Why not yadukum al yumna ? Something yamiinan is something on the right. Liyamiini on the right (direction)
Al TTArii9i al ayman the road/the path on the right.
I ask this because I have a little "knowledge" in classical Arabic (a few words but I can't understand a text or a conversation in classical Arabic) and I can speak darija Arabic in which we find fos7a arabic or words in which I recognize similar roots.When I read or ear aymanukum, I can't understand your right hands but your rights.

Ma meleket ejmanuhunne 2431, 3355
Ma meleket jeminuke 3350, 3352
Ma meleket ejmanuhum 1671, 23.6, 7030
Ma meleket ejmanukum 43, 424, 425, 436, 2433, 2458, 3028, 3350In all situations where these terms are used, it is explicitly about interpersonal relationships and never about material things. All of them treat the mutual obligations that are applied by taking shares in the social-humanitarian aspect of life that are possible during the life we spend in human communities. It could be freely said that these verses are the basis and instructions in the application of the social law of each state. It is the social service that has the task of taking care of the category of the population that is not cared for, that is poor, whose rights are endangered and who are at risk of suffering. If a society is aware of its social problems then it will look to solve those problems in the best way. God wants us to act protectively towards these categories of society and to provide them with normal conditions of consistent human rights. These verses contain God's instructions for regulating the social and legal issues of a society.

I would like to add something more how I perceive this phrase "ma meleket" along with "eymanukum". I see it as a Quranic slogan "don't slave - do care" ie. take your responsibility against slavery by not enslaving others but taking responsibility for each other. Take your social responsibility in your community, help the weak, take care of single people (children, men, women, older, younger) who need help and assistance, share with others if you are rich and have great resources and do not enslave others so that you get rich at the expense of others.
mā meleket ey'mānukum; don't slave - do care
