وَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي أَشْيَاءَ يُؤْجَرُ فِيهَا الرَّجُلُ ، حَتَّى فِي غَشَيَانِ أَهْلِهِ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كَيْفَ وَهِيَ شَهْوَتُهُ يَقْضِيهَا ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ كَانَ حَرَامٌ ، أَلَيْسَ كَانَ يُؤْزَرُ ؟ " ، قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : " فَكَذَلِكَ يُؤْجَرُ ".
It is narrated from Abu al-Bakhtari (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned various matters for which a person is rewarded, to the point that he receives a reward even for being intimate with his wife. It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, how can that be, when by this act he is merely fulfilling his own desire? He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What do you think: if he did this act in a forbidden way, would he not incur sin?" The Companions said: Yes, certainly he would. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Likewise he is rewarded (for fulfilling his desire in a lawful way)."
From this blessed hadith a great principle is derived: when a person intends, through what is lawful, to avoid what is forbidden and to remain chaste, even his natural and worldly affairs are turned into worship that earns reward.
