عَنِ الْغَرِيفِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ اللَّيْثِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْنَا حَدِّثْنَا بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَاحِبٍ لَنَا قَدْ أَوْجَبَ فَقَالَ أَعْتِقُوا عَنْهُ يُعْتِقِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
It is narrated from Arif Dailami, he says: We went to Sayyiduna Wathila bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Tell us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: We brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the case of a man who, because of a sin, had made Hellfire obligatory upon himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Free a slave on his behalf; Allah Almighty will, for every limb of the freed slave, free a limb of that man from Hellfire.
