Musnad Ahmad 18059

Translation

✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, “Which part of the night is most conducive to being heard?” He said: “The last depth of the night. Then he said: Prayer is accepted until you pray the morning prayer, then there is no prayer until the sun rises and is the height of a spear or two spears. Then prayer is accepted until the shadow stands as tall as a spear, then there is no prayer until the sun passes its zenith. Then prayer is accepted until you pray the afternoon prayer, then there is no prayer until the sun sets. When a servant performs ablution and washes his hands, his sins fall from between his hands; when he washes his face, his sins fall from his face; when he washes his forearms, his sins fall from his forearms; and when he washes his feet, his sins fall from his feet.” Shuʿbah said: He did not mention wiping the head. “Any man who frees a Muslim man, it will be his ransom from the Fire; he will be recompensed for every limb of the freed man with a limb of his own. Any Muslim man who frees two Muslim women, they will be his ransom from the Fire; he will be recompensed for every two limbs of theirs with a limb of his own. Any Muslim woman who frees a Muslim woman, she will be her ransom from the Fire; she will be recompensed for every limb of hers with a limb of her own.”
