[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "There are three types of people who will receive their rewards twice. A man who had a slave girl and he educated her and treated her well, and then he freed her and married her. And a slave who fulfilled the rights of his Lord and his master. And a man who believed in his book and in Muhammad ﷺ ." Ash-Sha'abi said to me, "Take it without any condition, even if you have to travel all the way to Kerman, it will be easy for you."
