Hadith 1403
اُردوEn
1403 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ تُرَابُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أنا الْمُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، أنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، نا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا نَصَحَ لِسَيِّدِهِ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, when a slave is sincere to his master and worships Allah in a good manner, then for him is a double reward."
Brief Explanation
Explanation: -
In these hadiths, the virtue of that Muslim slave is described who always remains well-wishing towards his master and, along with that, worships his Lord in a good manner. Well-wishing for the master means that he performs his work with complete honesty and safeguards his master's wealth and possessions. Worship of Allah means adhering to the commands and obligations of Islam. For such a righteous and obedient slave, male or female, there is a double reward with Allah. That is, one reward for being well-wishing towards his master, and one for worshipping his Lord.
The noble statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is: "How excellent it is for a slave that Allah causes him to die in such a state that he worships his Lord in a good manner and also obeys his master in a good manner—how excellent it is for him." [بخاري : 2549]
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu says that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "For the owned slave who is well-wishing towards his master and worships his Lord, there is a double reward." And by Him in Whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurairah, if it were not for the matter of striving in the path of Allah, Hajj, and being good to my mother, I would have preferred to die in the state of being a slave. [بخاري : 2548] And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "That slave who worships his Lord in a good manner and fulfills the rights of well-wishing and obedience that are due to his master, for him there is a double reward." [بخاري : 2551]
