2548. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A pious slave gets a double reward." Abū Hurairah added: By Him in Whose Hands my soul is but for Jihād (i.e., holy battles), Hajj, and my duty to serve my mother, I would have loved to die as a slave.(1)

Arabic text

2548 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ المُسَيِّبِ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِلْعَبْدِ المَمْلُوكِ الصَّالِحِ أَجْرَانِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْلاَ الجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَالحَجُّ وَبِرُّ أُمِّي، لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ»
