Chapter: The Reward for a Slave Who Perfects His Worship and Advises His Master
✿ Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr (رضي الله عنهما)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a slave advises his master and perfects the worship of Allah, he will have a double reward.”
[متفق عليه: رواه مالك في الاستئذان 43، البخاري 2546، مسلم 1664: 43]
✿ Narrated by Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “For the righteous and faithful slave, there is a double reward. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurairah, were it not for jihad in the path of Allah, Hajj, and my dutiful service to my mother, I would have loved to die while I was still a slave.” It is mentioned that Abu Hurairah did not perform Hajj until after his mother passed away, due to his service to her.
[متفق عليه: رواه البخاري 2548، مسلم 1665: 44]
✿ Narrated by Abu Musa (رضي الله عنه)
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Three types of people will have a double reward: the man who has a slave woman, educates her well, disciplines her well, then frees her and marries her; the believer from the People of the Book who believed in his Prophet and then believed in me; and the slave who fulfills the rights of Allah and the rights of his master.”
Then Ash-Sha’bi said: “I have given you this hadith without effort. In the past, people would travel to Madinah for even less than this hadith.”
