[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The one who frees a slave at the time of his death, is like one who guides after being satisfied.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٨٧٣ – قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كَالَّذِي يَهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ»

abudawud:3968 – Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Sufyān > Abū Isḥāq > Abū Ḥabībah al-Ṭāʾī > Abū al-Dardāʾ

The Prophet ﷺ said: the similitude of a man who emancipates a slave at the time of his death is like that of a man who gives a present after satisfying his appetite.  

أبو داود:٣٩٦٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ  

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصَفِ الْمُتَصَدِّقِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِذَا كَانَ مُقَصِّرًا عَنْ حَالَةِ مِثْلِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ

ibnhibban:3336 – Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Mirdās Bi-al-Ubullah > ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿīd al-Kindī > Ibn Idrīs from his father > Abū Isḥāq > Abū Ḥabībah al-Ṭāʾī > Abū al-Dardāʾ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The example of the person who gives charity at the time of his death is like the one who donates after he has been fully satisfied."  

ابن حبّان:٣٣٣٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مِرْدَاسٍ بِالْأُبُلَّةِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَصَدَّقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ»  

bayhaqi:7834 – Abū Bakr b. Fūrak > ʿAbdullāh b. Jaʿfar > Yūnus b. Ḥabīb > Abū Dāwud > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > Abū Ḥabībah al-Ṭāʾī > Abū al-Dardāʾ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The likeness of one who gives charity or frees a slave at the time of death is like the one who gives gifts after having his fill."  

البيهقي:٧٨٣٤ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَصَدَّقُ أَوْ يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَ مَا يَشْبَعُ
