Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ مَنَحَ مِنْحَةَ وَرِقٍ أَوْ مِنْحَةَ لَبَنٍ أَوْ هَدَى زُقَاقًا فَهُوَ كَعِتَاقِ نَسَمَةٍ وَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ فَهُوَ كَعِتَاقِ نَسَمَةٍ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Muhammad ibn Talhah told us, from Talhah ibn Musarrif, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Awsajah, from al-Bara' ibn Azib, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever gives a loan of silver, or a loan of milk, or guides [someone] along a road, it is like freeing a slave. And whoever says, 'There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things,' it is like freeing a slave."
