Narrated Abu Dhar

He replied, "The manumission of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master." "I said, "If I cannot afford to do that?" He said, "Help the weak or do 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. [3:694-O.B]

Narrated Qais
When Huraira accompanied by his slave set out intending to embrace Islâm they lost each other on the way. The slave then came while Huraira was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Huraira ! Your slave has come back." Abu Huraira said, "Indeed, I would like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened at the time when Abu Huraira recited (the following poetic verse):-" What a long tedious tiresome night ! Nevertheless, it has delivered us from the land of Kufr (disbelief).'
