حَدَّثَنَا
حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : لَوْلَا أَمْرَانِ لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ عَبْدًا مَمْلُوكًا ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمَمْلُوكَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ فِي مَالِهِ شَيْئًا ، وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ سَيِّدِهِ ، إِلَّا وَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that if it were not for two things, I would have preferred to remain a slave in someone’s possession, because a slave cannot dispose of his wealth, and the reason for this is that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When a slave fulfills the rights of both Allah and his master, he receives double reward for every deed.
