All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on the virtue of the slave who fulfills the right of Allah and the right of his masters. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 5169Sahih (Al-Albani) Agreed upon. And it was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Riyad as-Salihin 1363 Agreed upon. And it was narrated from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Riyad as-Salihin 1364 Al-Bukhari narrated it. And from him (may Allah be pleased with him) it was said: Riyad as-Salihin 1365 Agreed upon. Chapter on the virtue of worship in times of turmoil".

This chapter was established by the author (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book *Riyad al-Salihin* in the chapter on the virtue of freeing slaves, to clarify what the hadiths indicate: that if a slave fulfills the right of Allah and the right of his master, he has two rewards. The first reward is for fulfilling the right of Allah, and the second is for fulfilling the right of his master. This is because Allah has a right over him, such as the prayers, fasting, and other acts of worship that are not based on financial matters, and the master has a right over him, which is serving him and the like. So if he fulfills both rights, he has two rewards. Likewise, in the last hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that three people have two rewards: a man from the People of the Book, the Jews or the Christians, meaning he was a Jew or a Christian, then he believed in the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), so he has two rewards. The first reward is his belief in his prophet, and the second is his belief in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). And let it be known that if the message of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reaches the Jews and the Christians and they do not believe in him, their deeds are rendered void, even the deeds by which they practice their religion in their faith are void and not accepted, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ali 'Imran 3:85] As for the second, it is the slave who fulfills the right of his master and the right of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the third, it is a man who had a female slave, so he taught her good manners and taught her well, and educated her and educated her well, then he freed her and married her, so he has two rewards. The first time is for his kindness to her while she was a slave, and the second reward is for his kindness to her after he freed her; he did not neglect her, but he married her and protected her and chaste her. And Allah grants success.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on the virtue of the slave who fulfills the right of Allah and the right of his masters. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
when a slave acts sincerely towards his master and worship Allah well, he will have a double reward.
إن العبد إذا نصح لسيده وأحسن عبادة الله فله أجره مرتينThe Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The faithful and diligent slave will have a double reward." (Abu Hurairah added:) By Him in Whose Hand the soul of Abu Hurairah is! but for Jihad in the Cause of Allah, and Hajj and kindness to my mother, I would have preferred to die as a slave.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: للعبد المملوك المصلح أجران، والذي نفس أبي هريرة بيده لولا الجهاد في سبيل الله والحج وبر أمي لأحببت أن أموت وأنا مملوكThe Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A slave who worships his Rubb (Allah) well and discharges efficiently and faithfully the duties which are assigned to him by his master, will have a double reward."
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: المملوك الذي يحسن عبادة ربه ويؤدي إلى سيده الذي عليه من الحق والنصيحة والطاعة له أجرانAbu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Three kinds of people will have a double reward: A man from the People of the Book who believes in his Prophet and (also) believes in Muhammad; a slave who discharges properly the duties towards Allah and towards his master; and a man who possesses a slave-girl and teaches her manners, educates her well, and frees her and then marries her." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] .
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ثلاثة لهم أجران، رجل من أهل الكتاب آمن بنبيه وآمن بمحمد، والعبد المملوك إذا أدى حق الله وحق مواليه، ورجل كانت له أمة فأدبها فأحسن تأديبها وعلمها فأحسن تعليمها ثم أعتقها فتزوجها فله أجرانThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
