The Book of Emancipating Slaves

كتاب العتق

(7) Chapter: The virtue of manumitting one's father

باب فَضْلِ عِتْقِ الْوَالِدِ ‏‏

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

A son does not repay what he owes his father unless he buys him (the father) in case he is a slave and then emancipates him. In the narration transmitted by Ibn Abu Shaiba there is a slight change of words.
