Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمَمْلُوكِ الْمُصْلِحِ أَجْرَانِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَجُّ وَبِرُّ أُمِّي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ.
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Talaqani narrated to us, he said: 'Abdullah narrated to us, from Yunus, from al-Zuhri who said: I heard Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab say: Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The righteous slave has two rewards." And by the One in Whose Hand is Abu Hurayrah's soul, were it not for jihad in the cause of Allah, Hajj, and dutifulness to my mother, I would have loved to die as a slave.
