Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْبَهْزِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَجْوَبُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أَسْمَعُ قَالَ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً أَعْتَقَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهَا عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنْ النَّارِ.

Abd al-Razzaq told us, he said: Sufyan told us, from Mansur, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from a man, from Ka'b ibn Murrah al-Bahzi, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which part of the night is deepest?" - Sufyan said, another time: "most heard" - he said: "The last part of the night. And whoever frees a slave, Allah will free, for every limb of his, a limb of himself from the Fire."
