قَالَ: يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا كَانَ فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ يُجْزَى بِكُلِّ عَظْمٍ مِنْهُ عَظْمًا مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُسْلِمَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، يُجْزَى بِكُلِّ عَظْمَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا عَظْمًا مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)،

He then said, "O Ka'b bin Murrah! Narrate to us a hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with caution." He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: Whoever frees a Muslim, it becomes a means of deliverance for him from Hell, and for every limb of the slave, a limb of the one who frees him is set free. And whoever frees two Muslim women, both of them become a means of deliverance for him from Hell, and for every limb of theirs, a limb of the one who frees them is set free from Hell. And whoever grows old in the way of Allah, the whiteness of his hair will be a source of light for him on the Day of Resurrection."
