from Ḥuṣayn, from Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd, from Abū Umāmah and other Companions of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: and he mentioned it. He said: "It is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ gharīb ḥadīth from this perspective." Then he said: "In the ḥadīth, there is an indication that the emancipation of male slaves is better for men than the emancipation of female slaves, due to his (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) saying: 'Whoever frees a Muslim slave, it will be his ransom from the Fire, each part of him will be a ransom for each part of him.' The ḥadīth is authentic in its chains." I said: However, most of its chains revolve around Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd, and there is a difference in its isnād in several ways: the first is this, making it from the Musnad of Abū Umāmah, and it is uniquely reported by ʿImrān ibn ʿUyaynah, and there is criticism regarding his memory, as indicated by the ḥāfiẓ who said: "He is truthful but has errors." Thus, authenticating his ḥadīth is not acceptable, and it suffices to consider it ḥasan if it does not contradict. The second: Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī said in his "Musnad" (1198): Shuʿbah narrated to us from ʿAmr ibn Murrah who said: I heard Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd from Shuraḥbīl ibn al-Simṭ who said: It was said to Kaʿb ibn Murrah or Murrah ibn Kaʿb al-Bahzī: Tell us a ḥadīth you heard from the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), may Allāh bless you, and be cautious. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): and he mentioned it similarly. Through the route of al-Ṭayālisī, it was reported by al-Bayhaqī (10/272). It was also reported by Abū Dāwūd in his "Sunan" (3967), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (1/312), Aḥmad (4/235), and ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd in "al-Muntaqāb" (folios 56-57) through other routes from Shuʿbah with it. The ḥāfiẓ attributed it in "al-Fatḥ" (5/104) to al-Nasāʾī, and he said: "Its isnād is authentic, and similarly for al-Tirmidhī from the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah, and for al-Ṭabarānī from the ḥadīth of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, and its men are trustworthy."
