حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا نَصَحَ لِسَيِّدِهِ، وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ، لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ.
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the slave advises his master
and is assiduous in the worship of his Lord, he receives a double reward."
Abu Mahdhura said, "I was sitting with 'Umar when Safwan ibn Umayya
brought him a bowl which some people were carrying in a robe. They set
it down in front of 'Umar. 'Umar then invited some poor people and some
slaves belonging to the people around him and they ate with him. Then he
aid, 'Allah will do a people - or else he said, 'Allah will curse a
people' - who dislike having their slaves eat with them.' Safwan said,
'By Allah, we do not dislike them, but we prefer ourselves to them, and
by Allah, we do not find good food which we can eat and feed it to them
as well.'"
Narrated Salih ibn Hayy reported that a man said to 'Amir ash-Shu'bi, "Abu
'Amr! We say that when a man frees his umm walad and then marries her,
he is like the one who rides his camel." 'Amir said, "Abu Burda related
to me from his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace,:
'Three have a double reward: one of
the People of the Book who believes in his Prophet and then believes in
Muhammad has two rewards. When a slave carries out the due of Allah and
the due of his master, he has a double reward. And (the third is) a man
who has a slavegirl with whom he has intercourse and teaches her well and
instructs her well and then sets her free and marries her. He has two rewards.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ بِطَعَامِهِ فَلْيُجْلِسْهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ فَلْيُنَاوِلْهُ مِنْهُ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "When one of your servants brings you food, he should
sit with him. If you do not accept that, then you should give it to him.'"
