The virtue of manumitting one's father

باب فَضْلِ عِتْقِ الْوَالِدِ

Sahih Muslim, Book of The Book of Emancipating Slaves(view book)

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: A son does not repay what he owes his father unless he buys him (the father) in case he is a slave and then emancipates him. In the narration transmitted by Ibn Abu Shaiba there is a slight change of words.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " لاَ يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدًا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ " . وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ " وَلَدٌ وَالِدَهُ " .
