بَابُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا أَوْ شَرَطَ عَلَيْهِ خِدمَتَهُ وَحُكْم مَنْ مَلِكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مُحَرَّمٍ أَوْ أَعْتَقَ مَالَمْ يَمْلِكChapter on Whoever Frees a Slave or Conditions His Service, and the Ruling of One Who Owns a Forbidden Relative or Frees What He Does Not Own
Hadith 5263
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No child can repay his father or mother, except that he finds them as a slave and buys them and sets them free.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of "setting free" here is that he becomes the cause of his father's freedom, because when such a father is purchased, he will automatically become free.
