785 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ شُعْبَةُ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَي فِي دَارِهِ عَلَي ظَهْرِ بَيْتِهِ، فَدَعَا بَنِيهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا بَنِيَّ، تَعَالَوْا حَتَّي أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً أَعْتَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهَا عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
Shu’bah says: I was with Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari’s son, Sayyiduna Abu Burdah, in the room at the back of his house. He called his children and said: O my children! Come forward so that I may narrate to you the hadith which I heard my father narrate from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): I heard my father say, he said: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Whoever frees a neck (i.e., a slave man or woman), Allah Almighty will free every limb of his in exchange for every limb of that (slave man or woman) from the Hellfire.”
