فِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ
On the fact that whoever accepts Islam from the People of the Book will have his reward twice
Hadith 115
عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَتَحْتَ رَاحِلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَقَالَ قَوْلًا حَسَنًا جَمِيلًا وَكَانَ فِيمَا قَالَ: ((مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَهُ مَا لَنَا وَعَلَيْهِ مَا عَلَيْنَا وَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَلَهُ مَا لَنَا وَعَلَيْهِ مَا عَلَيْنَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, I was standing beneath the mount of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke very beautiful and eloquent words. Among them was this: “Whoever from among the People of the Book becomes a Muslim, he will have a double reward, and then whatever right is ours will also be his, and whatever responsibility is upon us will also be upon him. And whoever from among the polytheists becomes a Muslim, he will receive his reward, and then whatever right is ours will also be his, and whatever responsibility is upon us will also be upon him.”
Hadith 116
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ فَعَلَّمَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمَهَا وَأَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَأْدِيبَهَا وَأَعْتَقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ، وَعَبْدٌ أَدَّى حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ عِيسَى وَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever teaches his slave-girl and teaches her well, and gives her good moral training and trains her well, then sets her free and marries her, he will receive a double reward. (Similarly, there are two rewards) for the slave who fulfills the right of Allah Almighty and also the right of his master, and for the person from the People of the Book who first believed in the Shari'ah brought by Jesus (peace be upon him) and then believed in the Shari'ah brought by Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), for him also there are two rewards."
