Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَوْنُهُ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالنَّاكِحُ لِيَسْتَعْفِفَ وَالْمُكَاتَبُ يُرِيدُ الْأَدَاءَ.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, who said: Sa'id narrated to me, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: "Three are deserving of Allah's help: the warrior fighting in the cause of Allah the Mighty and Sublime, the one who marries seeking chastity, and the mukatabah (contracted slave seeking to buy their freedom) who intends to fulfill the payment."
