أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ کُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَی اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَوْنُهُ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالنَّاکِحُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ الْعَفَافَ وَالْمُکَاتَبُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ الْأَدَائَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3128
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “There are three, all of whom have a promise of help from Allah: ‘The Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime; the man who gets married, seeking to keep himself chaste; and the slave who has a contract of manumission and wants to buy his freedom.” (Hasan)
