Hadith of the Day

Hadith: Abu Musa Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: There are three types of people, who will have a double reward: A man from among the people of the Book (Jew or Christian), who believed in his Prophet and (also) believed in Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam; a slave when he fulfils the rights (duties) of Allah as well as the rights of his master; and a man who possessed a maid-servant and brought her up in an excellent manner and educated her with the best of knowledge and then set her free and married her, for him is a double reward. (Bukhari: 97)   ✺ Note: The objective of this hadith is to explain that a double reward will be recorded in respect of each and every of their deeds, compared with those of others. For example, if anyone offers Salat, he will receive a tenfold reward and when anyone of them from these three persons does the same action, his reward will be twenty-fold.
