حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَوْ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى مُعَاذٍ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَأَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ أَعْتَقَ مُسْلِمًا وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَعْتَقَتِ امْرَأَةً مُسْلِمَةً زَادَ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُسْلِمَتَيْنِ إِلاَّ كَانَتَا فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ يُجْزَى مَكَانَ كُلِّ عَظْمَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِهِ

machine translationḤafṣ b. ʿUmar narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAmr b. Murrah, from Sālim b. Abī al-Jaʿd, from Shuraḥbīl b. al-Simṭ, that he said to Kaʿb b. Murrah or Murrah b. Kaʿb: "Narrate to us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Then he mentioned the meaning of Muʿādh's report up to the words: "And any man who frees a Muslim, and any woman who frees a Muslim woman..." He added: "And any man who frees two Muslim women, they will be his ransom from the Fire; in place of every two bones of theirs, a bone of his bones will be compensated." Abū Dāwūd said: Sālim did not hear from Shuraḥbīl; Shuraḥbīl died at Ṣiffīn.
