1362/1 - Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If a slave serves his master sincerely and worships Allah properly, he will have a double reward.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1/1362- Ibnu Umar -raḍiyallāhu 'anhumā- meriwayatkan bahwa Rasulullah -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam- bersabda, "Sesungguhnya budak itu apabila bersikap tulus pada tuannya dan melakukan ibadah kepada Allah dengan baik, maka dia mendapatkan pahalanya dua kali." (Muttafaq 'Alaih)
1363/2 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The sincere slave will receive a double reward.’ By the One in Whose hand the soul of Abu Hurayrah is, were it not for Jihad in the cause of Allah, Hajj, and dutifulness to my mother, I would have liked to die as a slave.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
2/1363- Abu Hurairah -raḍiyallāhu 'anhu- berkata, "Rasulullah -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam- bersabda, Bagi budak yang saleh dua pahala.' Demi Zat yang jiwa Abu Hurairah berada di tangan-Nya! Seandainya bukan karena jihad di jalan Allah, haji, dan berbakti kepada ibuku, sungguh aku lebih suka mati dalam keadaan sebagai budak." (Muttafaq 'Alaih)
1364/3 - Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A slave who worships his Lord properly and fulfills the due right of his master, being sincere and obedient to him, will have a double reward.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri]
3/1364- Abu Mūsā Al-Asy'ariy -raḍiyallāhu 'anhu- berkata, Rasulullah -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam- bersabda, "Budak yang beribadah kepada Rabb-nya dengan baik serta menunaikan kewajiban kepada tuannya berupa hak, nasihat, dan ketaatan akan mendapatkan dua pahala." (HR. Bukhari)
1) If a slave worships Allah properly and serves his master sincerely, he will receive a double reward. This is an honor that the Shariah bestows on the slave and an elevation of the rank of his servitude to Allah Almighty so that his reward would be greater.
1) Apabila seorang budak beribadah kepada Rabb-nya dengan baik serta berbuat baik dan tulus dalam berkhidmat kepada tuannya, maka baginya dua pahala. Ini adalah salah satu bentuk pemuliaan syariat Islam kepada budak serta pengangkatan tingkat ibadahnya kepada Allah -Ta'ālā- supaya pahalanya besar.
2) A slave is trusted with his master’s property and is responsible for it. So, everyone should fear Allah with regard to his responsibilities.
2) Seorang budak adalah pengurus harta tuannya dan dia akan dimintai pertanggungjawabannya; oleh karena itu, hendaklah semua orang bertakwa dalam menunaikan tanggung jawabnya.
Imām Al-Hāfizh Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “In my view, this Hadīth indicates the following: Since a slave is required to perform two obligations - to obey and worship his Lord and obey his master in what is good - and he actually fulfills them, he obtains a reward like a free man who obeys Allah Almighty, in addition to that, he gets a reward for obeying his master, whom Allah has commanded him to obey.”
Imam Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibnu 'Abdil-Barr -raḥimahullāh- berkata, "Makna hadis ini, menurutku, bahwa manakala terkumpul pada seorang hamba dua perkara wajib; yaitu taat kepada Rabb-nya dalam ibadah dan taat kepada tuannya dalam perkara yang makruf, lalu dia melaksanakan keduanya, maka baginya pahala dua kali lipat dari pahala seorang merdeka yang saleh karena ketaatannya, karena dia telah menyamainya dalam ketaatan kepada Allah dan unggul di atasnya dengan menaati orang yang Allah perintahkan kepadanya untuk menaatinya, yaitu tuannya."
Al-Hāfizh Ibn Hajar said: “The great merit that the slave deserves is apparently due to the hardship associated with slavery.” [Fat'h al-Bāri Sharh Sahīh al-Bukhāri]
Al-Hāfiẓ Ibnu Hajar berkata, "Hal yang kuat bahwa tambahan keutamaan bagi hamba yang memiliki sifat ini disebabkan adanya kesulitan perbudakan yang ada pada dirinya." (Fatḥul-Bārī Syarḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhāriy).
1365/3 - He also reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Three types of people will receive a double reward: a man from the people of the Book who believed in his prophet and then believed in Muhammad; a slave who fulfilled his duties towards Allah and towards his masters; and a man who had a female slave and he taught her good manners, educated her well, and then freed her and married her; he will receive a double reward.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
3/1365- Juga dari Abu Mūsā Al-Asy'arī -raḍiyallāhu 'anhu-, ia berkata, Rasulullah -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam- bersabda, "Ada tiga orang yang mendapatkan dua pahala; Seorang Ahli Kitab yang beriman kepada nabinya dan beriman kepada Muhammad -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam-; Seorang budak apabila dia menunaikan hak Allah dan hak tuannya; Seseorang yang memiliki budak perempuan lalu ia mendidiknya dengan baik dan mengajarinya dengan sebaik-baik pengajaran lalu dia memerdekakannya kemudian menikahinya. Baginya dua pahala." (Muttafaq 'Alaih)
1) It shows the generosity of Islam as it doubles the reward for those who properly perform two obligations required of them under the Shariah.
1) Kemurahan syariat dalam melipatgandakan pahala orang yang mengerjakan dua amalan sempurna yang keduanya diperintahkan secara agama.
2) A prudent man would teach and educate his family and treat them kindly, as the free women are more deserving of attention than the female slaves.
2) Di antara tanda kedalaman fikih seorang hamba adalah dia membina keluarganya serta mendampingi dan mendidik mereka dengan baik, karena memberikan perhatian kepada orang merdeka lebih utama daripada memberikan perhatian kepada budak perempuan.
Commenting on the preceding Hadīth, the erudite scholar Al-Tāhir ibn ‘Āshūr (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:
Alamah Aṭ-Ṭāhir bin 'Āsyūr -raḥimahullāh- berkata ketika meluruskan makna hadis di atas,
“In my opinion, one of the reasons behind this is that when a slave of this kind remains in bondage, this will deprive society of benefiting from him in a full manner. So, it is more beneficial for society to admit him into the category of free people.” [The Objectives of Islamic Law]
"Saya kira, di antara hikmah hal ini adalah bahwa budak dengan sifat seperti ini bila tetap dalam perbudakan maka akan menihilkan kesempatan masyarakat untuk mengambil manfaat darinya secara sempurna, sehingga memasukkannya ke dalam kelompok orang merdeka lebih berguna bagi mereka." (Maqāṣid Asy-Syarī'ah Al-Islāmiyyah).
