Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7256 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever has a slave-girl
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَلَّافُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ فَأَدَّبَهَا ، فَأَحْسَنَ أَدَبَهَا ، وَعَلَّمَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمَهَا ، ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا ، فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ ، وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ ، وَآمَنَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ ، وَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ أَدَّى حَقَّ اللهِ ، وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ » قَالَ صَالِحٌ : قَالَ لِيَ الشَّعْبِيُّ : أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا بِغَيْرِ شَيْءٍ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّاكِبُ لَيَرْكَبُ فِي دُونِهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a slave-girl and teaches her the best manners, gives her a fine education, then frees her and marries her, for him there is a double reward. And whoever of the People of the Book believed in his own Prophet and then also believed in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), for him too there is a double reward. And the slave who fulfils the rights of Allah and also fulfils the rights of his masters, for him too there is a double reward." Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said to me: "I have given you this hadith without any hardship or return, whereas there was a time when a traveller would undertake the long journey to Madinah for something less than it."
