163 - وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال لبعض أصحابه، يا ثابت، أما تستطيع أن تعتق كل يوم رقبة؟ أصلحك الله، ما أقوى على ذلك، قال: أما تقدر أن تغدي أو تعشي أربعة من المسلمين؟ قلت: أما هذا فاني أقوي عليه، قال: هو والله يعدل عتق رقبة.
163. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) once said to one of his companions, “O Thabit! Can you not free a slave every day?' 'May Allah make you prosper,' he replied, 'I do not have the (financial) power to do it!' 'Are you not able,' asked the Imam (a.s), 'to entertain four Muslims for lunch or dinner?' 'I am able to do,' replied the companion. 'By Allah I swear,' said the Imam (a.s), 'that is equal to free a slave.'
