Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 8372 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ 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 Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A righteous slave receives a double reward. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), if it were not for striving in the way of Allah, Hajj to the House of Allah, and service to my mother, I would have preferred to die in the state of slavery.
