3968. It was narrated that Abū Ad-Dardā’ said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘The likeness of the one who manumits a slave when he is dying, is that of a man who gives food away after he has eaten his fill.’” (Hasan)

Arabic text

3968 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ»
