It is narrated from Arif Dailami, he says: We went to Sayyiduna Wathila bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Tell us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: We brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the case of a man who, because of a sin, had made Hellfire obligatory upon himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Free a slave on his behalf; Allah Almighty will, for every limb of the freed slave, free a limb of that man from Hellfire.
