Freeing slaves on behalf of someone else's sins

This hadith is about the power of emancipation. It was narrated by Wathilah ibn al-Asqa and Al-Arif ibn ad-dailami who went to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They asked him what could be done for a friend who had committed murder and deserved Hell as punishment. The Prophet replied that if they were to emancipate a slave on his behalf then Allah would set free from Hell one member of his body for every member of his body. This teaches us that even though we may have done something wrong or bad in our lives, there is still hope for redemption through good deeds such as freeing slaves or helping those in need. It also shows us how powerful an act of kindness can be in terms of its ability to bring about forgiveness and mercy from Allah.
