adab:890

Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone gives a gift or guides down a land - or a path - that, for him, is equivalent to freeing a slave."  

الأدب المفرد:٨٩٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قِنَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَنَحَ مَنِيحَةً أَوْ هَدَّى زُقَاقًا أَوْ قَالَ طَرِيقًا كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ عِتَاقِ نَسَمَةٍ
