حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْغَرِيفِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْنَا وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْنَا لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةٌ وَلَا نُقْصَانٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَضِبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَقْرَأُ وَمُصْحَفُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَيَزِيدُ وَيَنْقُصُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَاحِبٍ لَنَا أَوْجَبَ يَعْنِي النَّارَ بِالْقَتْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتِقُوا عَنْهُ يُعْتِقِ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ .

We went to Wathilah bin al-Asqa رضی اللہ عنہ and said to him: Tell us a tradition which has not addition or omission. He became angry and replied: One of you recites when his copy of a Quran is hung up in his house, and he makes additions and omissions. We said: All we mean is a tradition you have heard from the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said: We went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about a friend of ours who deserved. Hell for murder. He said: Emancipate a slave on his behalf; Allah will set free from Hell a member of the body for every member of his.
