2518. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There are three who are all entitled to Allâh's help: the one who fights in the cause of Allâh; the Mukâtab who wants to pay (the price of his freedom); and the one who gets married seeking chastity." (Sahih)
2518 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ثَلَاثَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَوْنُهُ: الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَالْمُكَاتَبُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ الْأَدَاءَ، وَالنَّاكِحُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ التَّعَفُّفَ "

If there is a written agreement between a slave and his master that the slave, in an agreed period, will pay the master a fixed and agreed upon price, then when this price is paid the slave becomes free. Jihâd in the cause of Allâh depends on the sincerity of intention. If the Divine law is observed strictly while fighting, Allâh helps the warrior. Chastity is a remarkable characteristic of Islamic society and marriage is a vital and powerful source to maintain a pious and pure society.
