Musnad Abi Ya'la 1999 — he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ : يَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ ، الصَّلَاةُ قُرْبَانٌ ، وَالصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ ، يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ ، النَّاسُ غَادِيَانِ : فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُوبِقٌ رَقَبَتَهُ ، وَمُبْتَاعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقٌ رَقَبَتَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Ka'b bin Ujrah! Prayer is a means of attaining nearness (to the Creator), fasting is a shield (protecting from sins), and charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire. O Ka'b bin Ujrah! All people go out in the morning (into the market of their deeds): then one sells his soul (in exchange for disobedience) and so brings it to ruin, and another sells his soul (in exchange for obedience) and so sets it free (from punishment)."
