"If a man emancipates two Muslim women, they will be deliverance from Hell fire; two bones of their will be emancipation for each of his bone." Abu Dawud said: Salim did not hear (traditions) from Shurahbil. Shurahbil died at Siffin.  

أبو داود:٣٩٦٧حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَوْ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى مُعَاذٍ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَأَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ أَعْتَقَ مُسْلِمًا وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَعْتَقَتِ امْرَأَةً مُسْلِمَةً زَادَ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُسْلِمَتَيْنِ إِلاَّ كَانَتَا فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ يُجْزَى مَكَانَ كُلِّ عَظْمَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ سَالِمٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ مَاتَ شُرَحْبِيلُ بِصِفِّينَ

I said to Ka'b bin Murrah, tell us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but be careful. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever frees a Muslim man, he will be his ransom from the Fire; each of his bones will suffice (as a ransom) for each of his bones. Whoever frees two Muslim women, they will be his ransom from the Fire; each of their two bones will suffice (as a ransom) for each of his bones.”

[Machine] Narrated to us (the narrator) a narration that you (the listener) heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Your father belongs to Allah, so be aware. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever frees a Muslim slave, his freedom from the Hellfire will be proportional to every bone in the slave's body, bone for bone. And whoever frees two Muslim female slaves, their freedom from the Hellfire will be proportional to every bone in both their bodies, bone for bone. And whoever frees a Muslim female slave, her freedom from the Hellfire will be proportional to every bone in her body, bone for bone."

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , which night is the most heard (by Allah)? He replied, "The last third of the night." He also used to say, "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, his freedom from the Fire will be to free each limb of the slave with a limb (of his own body), and whoever frees a Muslim woman slave, his freedom from the Fire will be to free each limb of her with a limb (of his own body)."
