Hadith text

Original Arabic

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 اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ عَبْدًا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللهِ، وَحَقَّ سَيِّدِهِ، إِلَّا وَفَّاهُ اللهُ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from 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 (ﷺ) say: When a slave fulfills the rights of both Allah and his master, he receives double reward for every deed.
