حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَنَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّهْمِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، أَوْ مَنَحَ مِنْحَةً، أَوْ هَدَى زُقَاقًا، كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً " (١) قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: " كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَلِيلَ الذِّكْرِ لِلنَّاسِ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ ذَكَرَ أَحَدًا غَيْرَ قَنَانٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا يَوْمًا (٢) : لَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ بَابَتِكُمْ " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever says these words: "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer" — it is like freeing a slave. Whoever gives someone a gift, such as silver or gold, or gives someone milk to drink, or gives someone a water-skin, it is as if he has freed a slave.
