Hadith #14
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ ضَمَّ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ الْبَتَّةَ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا كَانَ فَكَاكَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ يُجْزِي بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنْ النَّارِ
English Translation
He (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that hushaym narrated to us, ʿAlī ibn Zayd informed us, from Zurārah ibn Awfā, from Mālik ibn al-Ḥārith — a man from among them — that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say, 'Whoever shelters an orphan whose Muslim parents have died, providing him food and drink until he becomes self-sufficient, Paradise becomes guaranteed for him absolutely. And whoever frees a Muslim person, that becomes his ransom from the Fire — each of his limbs redeems a corresponding limb from the Fire.'
