1116. Abū Burdah bin Abī Mūsā narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Three will receive their reward twice: A slave who fulfills the rights of Allāh and the rights of his owners, then he will be given his reward twice. And a man who has a beautiful slave girl, so he teaches her good manners, then he frees her, then he marries her seeking the Face of Allāh by that; then he will be given his reward twice. And a man who believed in an earlier Book, then another Book came to him and he believed in it; then he will be given his reward twice." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(Another chain) from Abū Mūsā, from the Prophet ﷺ and it is similar in meaning.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Ḥadīth of Abū Mūsā is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. Abū Burdah bin Abī Mūsā's name is 'Āmir bin 'Abdullāh bin Qais. Shu'bah and Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported this Ḥadīth from Ṣāliḥ bin Ṣāliḥ bin Ḥayy. (And Ṣāliḥ bin Ṣāliḥ bin Ḥayy is the father of Al-Ḥasan bin Ṣāliḥ bin Ḥayy).

Commentary
For a slave to fulfill the rights of the master and rights of Allāh is a very difficult task. Similarly freeing a slave girl and bringing her to the status of a free woman, and marrying her is an uphill task, likewise believing in an earlier the Messenger of Allāh and the Book given to him, and then to believe in another Messenger and the Book that came to him is also very difficult. All these tasks are quite difficult, perplexing and against the ego of a human being. On the same analogy, the Christians and Jews refused to believe in the Prophet ﷺ and accept the faith. These three tasks are rewarded twice as, it requires one to cross the barrier of ego, pride and prejudice.
