وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِده إِلَّا أَن يجده مَمْلُوكا فيشتر بِهِ فيعتقه» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘No child can repay his father, unless he finds him enslaved, buys him, and emancipates him.’ Muslim transmitted it.
