EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us about the great reward that comes with freeing a Muslim slave. He said that whoever sets free a Muslim slave, Allah will deliver every limb of his body from the fire of Hell in return for every limb of the slave's body, even his private parts. This means that if someone frees one person who was enslaved, they will receive such an immense reward from Allah that it would save them from all suffering in Hellfire. This hadith teaches us to value freedom and to strive to help those who are enslaved or oppressed. It also encourages us to do good deeds as they can bring immense rewards in both this life and hereafter.
