Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ حُوَىٍّ مَوْلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ كَيْفَ الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي حَدَّ
ثْتَنِي عَنْ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الصُّنَابِحِيُّ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبَسَةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا زِيَادَةَ فِيهِ وَلَا نُقْصَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً أَعْتَقَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهَا عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنْ النَّارِ وَمَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بَلَغَ أَوْ قَصَّرَ كَانَ عِدْلَ رَقَبَةٍ وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

English Translation
Muḥammad ibn Bakr narrated to us, ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd — meaning Ibn Jaʿfar — narrated to us, he said: al-Aswad ibn al-ʿAlāʾ narrated to me, from Ḥuwayy, the freedman of Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, from a man whom ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz sent for while he was Commander of the Faithful. He said: "What is the ḥadīth that al-Ṣunābiḥī narrated to you?" He said: "Al-Ṣunābiḥī informed me that he met ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah, and he said: 'Do you have a ḥadīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with no addition or omission?' He said: 'Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: Whoever frees a slave, Allāh will free every limb of him for every limb of the slave from the Fire. Whoever shoots an arrow in the path of Allāh that reaches its target or falls short, it is the equivalent of freeing a slave. And whoever grows a grey hair in the path of Allāh, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.'"
