Arabic (Original)
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 اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ سَيِّدِهِ إِلَّا وَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us: Ibn Abi Dhi'b told us, from Sa'id al-Maqburi, from his father, that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "Were it not for two things, I would love to be an owned slave. That is because a slave cannot do anything with his own wealth, and because I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'God has not created any slave who fulfills the right of God and the right of his master, except that God grants him his reward twice.'"
