He then asked us to shut the door and said: Raise yourhands and say La i/aha Wallah. So, we raised our hands for a while(and recited the Kalimah). Afterwards Nab!

Abu Musa Rac)iyallahu anhu narrates that Rasiilullah sallallahualaihi wasallam said: There are three types of people, who will havea double reward: A man from among the people of the Book (Jew orChristian), who believed in his Prophet and (also) believed inMui)ammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam; a slave when he fulfils hisduties to Allah as well as the duties to his master; and a master of awoman-slave who brought her up in an excellent manner andeducated her with the best of knowledge and then set her free andmarried her, for him is also a double reward. (BukhiirT)Note: The objective of this padIth is to explain that a double rewardwill be recorded in respect of each and everyone of their deeds,compared with those of others. For example, if anyone offers saIat,he will receive a tenfold reward and when anyone from these threepersons does the same action, his reward will be twenty-fold.
