Translation: " But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep (i.e. the path which will lead to goodness and success) * And what will make you know the path that is steep? ak (It is) freeing a neck (slave). 579 (90: 11-13)

Translation: 740. Narrated by Abu-Huraira: ' I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: " He that freed a believing slave, Allah would free his organs, even his private parts for freed person's private parts from the Fire therewith. "
Translation: 741. Narrated Abu-Zarr: ' I asked the Prophet:; " What is the best deed? " He replied: " To believe in Allah and to fight for His Cause. " I then asked: " What is the best kind of freeing (of slaves)? " He replied: " The freeing of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master. " I said: " If I cannot afford to do that? " He said: " Helping the weak or doing good for a person who cannot work for himself. " I said: " If I cannot do that? " He said: " Refrain from harming others, for this will be regarded as a charitable deed for your own good. " (Bukhari)
