3964. It was narrated that Al-Gharīf bin Ad-Dailamī said: "We came to Wāthilah bin Al-Asqa' and said to him: 'Tell us a Hadīth with nothing added or taken away.' He got angry and said: 'One of you may read (Qur'an) while his Mushaf is hanging in his house, and he may add and take away.' We said: 'All we meant is a Hadīth that you heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' He said: 'We came to the Prophet ﷺ regarding a companion of ours who was doomed, meaning to the Fire, for murder. He said: 'Manumit a slave on his behalf, and for every limb (of the slave), Allāh will ransom one of his limbs from the Fire.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
It is not enough to free a slave against the committed murder. Manumission of a Muslim slave is considered superior and it is proved from the Sahīh narrations that Allāh may forgive the murderer.
