٩7. Narrated Abū Burdā's father رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Three persons will have a double reward: 1. A person from the people of the Scriptures (a Jew or a Christian) who believed in his Prophet ['Iesa (Jesus) or Mūsā (Moses) [عليهما السلام] and then believed in Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ (i.e., has embraced Islām). 2. A slave who fulfils his duties to Allāh and also to his master. 3. A master of a woman-slave who teaches her good manners and educates her in the best possible way (the religion) and manumits her and then marries her."

97 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا المُحَارِبِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَامِرٌ الشَّعْبِيُّ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ثَلاَثَةٌ لَهُمْ أَجْرَانِ: رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ، آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ وَآمَنَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالعَبْدُ المَمْلُوكُ إِذَا أَدَّى حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ أَمَةٌ فَأَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَأْدِيبَهَا، وَعَلَّمَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمَهَا، ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَامِرٌ: أَعْطَيْنَاكَهَا بِغَيْرِ شَيْءٍ، قَدْ كَانَ يُرْكَبُ فِيمَا دُونَهَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ
