The Prophet's teaching (peace and blessings be upon him) on freeing slaves
Hadith Number: 7359
حدثني علي بن عيسى، حدثنا إبراهيم بن ابي طالب، حدثنا ابن ابي عمر، حدثنا سفيان، عن ابي الزعراء، عن عمه ابي الاحوص، قال: قال عبد الله: كنا نعد الإمعة في الجاهلية الرجل يدعى إلى الطعام فيذهب بآخر معه ولم يدع، وهو اليوم فيكم المحقب دينه الرجال (2). صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه. وقد روي بإسناد صحيح شاهد [له]:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: In the Jahiliyyah we used to call a man an "imma'ah" (a spineless follower of others) who was invited to a meal and took along with him someone else who had not been invited; whereas today the "imma'ah" among you is the one who blindly follows people in matters of religion (following them with his eyes closed).
This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

(2) إسناده صحيح. أبو الأحوص: هو عوف بن مالك الجُشمي، وأبو الزعراء: هو عمرو بن عمرو - ويقال: ابن عامر - بن مالك الجشمي، وسفيان: هو ابن عينية، وابن أبي عمر: هو محمد بن يحيى العدني.
Reference / Source: This narration was transmitted by Imam al-Tahawi in "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar" 15/408, Imam al-Bayhaqi in "al-Madkhal" (378) and Ibn 'Abd al-Barr in "Jami' Bayan al-'Ilm" (1874) and (1876) through various routes from Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah, with this same chain.
Note / Clarification: In Imam al-Tahawi's narration there is this addition: "The one who gives his religion to another, in such a way that the other person gains worldly benefit from it while its sin remains upon him (the one who gave his religion)." It apparently appears that this addition is Imam al-Tahawi's own words (explanation).

وأخرجه البزار (2071)، والطبراني (8766)، وأبو الشيخ في "ذكر الأقران" (56) من طريق أبي إسحاق السبيعي، عن أبي الأحوص، به. وفي الطريق إليه عمرو بن عبد الغفار الفقيمي وهو متروك.

والمُحقِب: هو الذي يقلّد الناس دينه لكل أحد بلا حجة ولا برهان ولا رويَّة، واشتقاقه من الإرداف على الحَقيبة. قاله ابن الأثير في "النهاية" (حقب).
