بَابُ ثَوَابِ الْعَبْدِ إِذَا أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَأَطَاعَ سَيدَهُ وَوَعِيدِهِ إِذَا خَالَفَChapter on the Reward of the Slave Who Obeys Allah the Exalted and His Master, and the Threat If He Disobeys

اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمُصْلِحِ الْمَمْلُوكِ أَجْرَانِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَجُّ وَبِرُّ أُمِّي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: A righteous slave has two rewards. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! If there were not good deeds like striving in the way of Allah, Hajj, and good conduct with the mother, I would have preferred that when death comes to me, my condition would be that I am a slave.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "a righteous slave" (muslih ghulam) is meant one who is well-wishing towards his master and is diligent in the worship of his Lord.
