Hadith 7416

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم ، قَالَ : " ثَلَاثٌ كُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَوْنُهُ : الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَالنَّاكِحُ الْمُسْتَعْفِفُ ، وَالْمُكَاتَبُ يُرِيدُ الْأَدَاءَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three people whose help is incumbent upon Allah: (1) The one who fights in the way of Allah, (2) The one who marries to protect his chastity, (3) The slave who has made a contract for his freedom and wishes to pay off his contract.
