1957. Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever gives someone some milk or silver, or guides him through a strait, then he will have the reward similar to freeing a slave." (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh Gharīb as a narration of Abū Ishāq from Ṭalḥah bin Muṣarrif, and we do not know of it except through this route. Maṣūr bin Al-Mu'tamir and Shu'bah reported this Hadīth from Ṭalḥah bin Muṣarrif.
There is something on this topic from An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr. As for the meaning of his ﷺ saying: "Whoever gives some silver" it only means Dirham, and: "Or guides him through a strait" it only means guidance on the road, which is directions for the route.

Commentary
Being sympathetic and kind to the people, giving a milch animal to the needy, lending money to the hard pressed, giving direction to the person lost in the land, and freeing a slave from bondage are to be regarded as acts of kindness and charity.
