A slave receives double reward
Hadith 473
أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِذَا أَطَاعَ الْعَبْدُ رَبَّهُ وَأَطَاعَ سَيِّدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ، قَالَ: فَأُعْتِقَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ، فَبَكَى فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ فَقَالَ: كَانَ لِي أَجْرَانِ فَذَهَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "When a slave obeys his Lord and his master, he will have two rewards." The narrator stated: When Abu Rafi' was freed, he began to weep. He was asked: Why are you weeping? He replied: I used to have two rewards, and now one of those rewards is gone.
