Hadith 637
۞
13. Salih ibn ‘Aqabah has narrated from ‘Aqabah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“Visiting the believing brother (in belief) is certainly better than setting free ten believing slaves. Whoever sets free a believing slave for each part of the body of the slave, one part of his body will be protected against fire, and even the private part will be protected.”
13ـ صَالِحُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
لَزِيَارَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ فِي الله خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِتْقِ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً وَقَى كُلُّ عُضْوٍ عُضْواً مِنَ النَّارِ حَتَّى أَنَّ الْفَرْجَ يَقِي الْفَرْجَ.
