The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have embraced Islam on whatever belonged to the past." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing that I did in the pre-Islamic era for the sake of Allah except that I continue to do it for Allah in Islam as well." He said, "Then, you shall be rewarded for freeing one hundred slaves in the pre-Islamic era, and you shall be rewarded for freeing the same number of slaves in Islam. And you shall be rewarded for sending out a hundred camels in the pre-Islamic era, and you shall be rewarded for sending out the same number in Islam."
