3967. It was narrated from Sālim bin Abī Al-Ja’d, from Shuraḥbil bin As-Simṭ that he said to Ka’b bin Murrah, or Murrah bin Ka’b: “Tell us a Hadīth that you heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ,” and he mentioned a report similar to that of Mu’ādh (no. 3969) up to the words: “Any man who ransoms a Muslim, and any woman who ransoms a Muslim woman.” And he added: “Any man who ransoms two Muslim women, they will be his deliverance from the Fire; for every two bones of theirs, one of his bones will be saved.” (Da’if)

3967 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السَّمْطِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، أَوْ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى مُعَاذٍ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ «وَأَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ أَعْتَقَ مُسْلِمًا، وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَعْتَقَتِ امْرَأَةً مُسْلِمَةً» زَادَ «وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُسْلِمَتَيْنِ، إِلَّا كَانَتَا فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، يُجْزِئُ مَكَانَ كُلِّ عَظْمَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «سَالِمٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ مَاتَ شُرَحْبِيلُ بِصِفِّينَ»
