Arabic (Original)
قَالَ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا كَانَ فِكَاكَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ يُجْزَى بِكُلِّ عَظْمٍ مِنْهُ عَظْمًا مِنْهُ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُسْلِمَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا فِكَاكَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ يُجْزَى بِكُلِّ عَظْمَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا عَظْمًا مِنْهُ وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
He said: 'O Ka'b ibn Murrah, narrate to us from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and be careful.' He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Whoever frees a Muslim man, it will be his ransom from the Fire; for every bone of the freed man, a bone of the one who freed him will be spared. And whoever frees two Muslim women, they will be his ransom from the Fire; for every two bones of theirs, a bone of his will be spared. And whoever turns grey in the way of Allah, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.'
