Sunan Abi Dawud, 3964

Narrated Wathilah ibn al-Asqa: Al-Arif ibn ad-Daylami said: We went to Wathilah ibn al-Asqa and said to him: Tell us a tradition which has not addition or omission. He became angry and replied: One of you recites when his copy of a Qur'an is hung up in his house, and he makes additions and omissions. We said: All we mean is a tradition you have heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: We went to the Prophet (ﷺ) about a friend of ours who deserved. Hell for murder. He said: Emancipate a slave on his behalf; Allah will set free from Hell a member of the body for every member of his

Rapporté par Wathilah ibn al-Asqa : Al-Arif ibn ad-Daylami a dit : « Nous sommes allés voir Wathilah ibn al-Asqa et lui avons dit : “Raconte-nous une tradition sans ajout ni omission.” Il s’est fâché et a répondu : “L’un de vous récite alors que son exemplaire du Coran est accroché chez lui, et il y ajoute ou enlève des choses.” Nous avons dit : “Nous voulons seulement une tradition que tu as entendue du Messager d’Allah ﷺ.” Il a dit : “Nous sommes allés voir le Prophète ﷺ au sujet d’un de nos amis qui méritait l’Enfer pour meurtre. Il a dit : ‘Affranchissez un esclave pour lui ; Allah libérera de l’Enfer un membre de son corps pour chaque membre du sien.’” »
