The authenticity of this Hadith is rejected by the Shias, and does not figure in either Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim.

“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”

If we’ve promised them aught, let us keep our promise.”
