حَدَّثَنَا
هُشَيْمٌ ، قَالَ :
عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ، عَنْ
زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ
مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ؛ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" مَنْ ضَمَّ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ ، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ الْبَتَّةَ ، وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا كَانَ فَكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، يُجْزِي بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Malik bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever includes an orphan child of Muslim parents in his food and drink until the child becomes independent (able to earn for himself), Paradise becomes obligatory for him. Whoever frees a Muslim man, he becomes the cause of that man's freedom from Hell, and for every limb of the freed person, each of his own limbs is freed from Hell.
