Sahih Muslim Book - 20, Hadith - 3798

وَحَدَّثَنِى حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعُمَرِىُّ - حَدَّثَنَا وَاقِدٌ - يَعْنِى أَخَاهُ - حَدَّثَنِى سَعِيدُ ابْنُ مَرْجَانَةَ - صَاحِبُ عَلِىِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا اسْتَنْقَذَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ». قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَلِىِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَأَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا لَهُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ بِهِ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَشْرَةَ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ.

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Marjanah - the companion of 'Ali bin Husain - who said: "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Any Muslim who frees another Muslim, Allah will save each of his limbs from the Fire for each of his (the slave's) limbs." He said: "When I heard this Hadith from Abu Hurairah, I went and mentioned it to 'Ali bin Al-Husain and he manumitted a slave of his for whom Ibn Ja'far was prepared to pay ten thousand Dirham - or one thousand Dinars."
