The Merit of the Dutiful Slave

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The 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.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ : "للعبد المملوك المصلح أجران، والذي نفس أبي هريرة بيده لولا الجهاد في سبيل الله والحج، وبر أمي لأحببت أن أموت وأنا مملوك" ((متفق عليه))

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The 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."

[Al-Bukhari].

وعن أبي موسى الأشعري قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ : "المملوك الذي يحسن عبادة ربه ويؤدي إلى سيده الذي عليه من الحق، والنصيحة والطاعة له أجران" ((رواه البخاري)).

Abu 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].

وعنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ : "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 أجران" ((متفق عليه))
