[387] 214 – (154) It was narrated that Saul' bin Sâlih Al- HamdânI said: "I saw a man from the people of IJjurâsân asking Ash-Sha'bi: '0 Abü 'Amr! Among the people of Khurisdn who came before us, if a man freed his slave woman and married her, they would say that he is like a man who rode his sacrificial animal.' Ash-Sha'bI said: 'Abü Burdah bin AbI Müsâ narrated to me from his father, that the Messenger of Allah said: "There are three who will be given a double reward: A man among the people of the Book who believed in his Prophet, then lived to see the Prophet j4 and followed him and believed in him – he will have a double reward. And a slave who fulfills his duty towards Allah and towards his master – he will have a double reward. And a man who had a slave woman whom he fed and fed her well, and taught her and taught her well, then he set her free and married her – he will have a double reward." Then Ash-Sha'bI said to the Khurâsâni: 'Take this HadIth with no effort, for a man would travel to Al- Madinah for less than this."
