"ثَلَاثَةٌ يُؤتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مرتين: رجل من أَهلِ الكتابِ آمن بنبيه وَأَدرك النبى ﷺ فآمنَ به واتبعه وصدَّقه فله أجران، وعبد مملوك أدَّى حقَّ اللَّه وحقَّ سيِّدِه فله أَجْران، ورجل كانت له أَمةٌ فَغَذَّاها فأحسَنَ عداءَها ثُمَّ أَدَّبها فأحسن تأدِيبها وعلَّمها فأَحسنَ تعليمها ثم أعتقها وتزوجها فلَه أَجران".

Collected by Bukhārī, Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, BayhaqīMessenger of Allah ﷺ said "Three persons will have a double reward: 1. A Person from the people of the scriptures who believed in his prophet (Jesus or Moses) and then believed in the Prophet ﷺ Muhammad (i .e. has embraced Islam). 2. A slave who discharges his duties to Allah and his master. 3. A master of a woman-slave who teaches her good manners and educates her in the best possible way (the religion) and manumits her and then marries her."
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «ثَلاَثَةٌ لَهُمْ أَجْرَانِ: (١) رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ وَآمَنَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، (٢) وَالْعَبْدُ الْمَمْلُوكُ إِذَا أَدَّى حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ، (٣) وَرَجُلٌ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ أَمَةٌ (يَطَؤُهَا) فَأَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَأْدِيبَهَا وَعَلَّمَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمَهَا ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ۔»
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Three persons will get their reward twice. (One is) a person who has a slave girl and he educates her properly and teaches her good manners properly (without violence) and then manumits and marries her. Such a person will get a double reward. (Another is) a believer from the people of the scriptures who has been a true believer and then he believes in the Prophet ﷺ (Muhammad). Such a person will get a double reward. (The third is) a slave who observes Allah's Rights and Obligations and is sincere to his master."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلاَثَةٌ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ الرَّجُلُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الأَمَةُ فَيُعَلِّمُهَا فَيُحْسِنُ تَعْلِيمَهَا وَيُؤَدِّبُهَا فَيُحْسِنُ أَدَبَهَا ثُمَّ يُعْتِقُهَا فَيَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَمُؤْمِنُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا ثُمَّ آمَنَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَالْعَبْدُ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَيَنْصَحُ لِسَيِّدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَأَعْطَيْتُكَهَا بِغَيْرِ شَىْءٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَرْحَلُ فِي أَهْوَنَ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, any man who has a slave girl whom he educates properly, teaches good manners, manumits and marries her, will get a double reward And if any man of the people of the Scriptures believes in his own prophet and then believes in me too, he will (also) get a double reward And any slave who fulfills his duty to his master and to his Lord, will (also) get a double reward."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَلِيدَةٌ فَعَلَّمَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمَهَا وَأَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ تَأْدِيبَهَا ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ وَآمَنَ بِي فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَأَيُّمَا مَمْلُوكٍ أَدَّى حَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ وَحَقَّ رَبِّهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ خُذْهَا بِغَيْرِ شَىْءٍ قَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَرْحَلُ فِيمَا دُونَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَعْتَقَهَا ثُمَّ أَصْدَقَهَا

[Machine] "I saw a man from the people of Khorasan come to him (the Prophet) and he said, 'O Abu Amr, those who came before us from the people of Khorasan used to say that when a man emancipates his slave and then marries her, he is like a passenger with his garment on.' Ash-Sha'bi said Abu Burdah informed me from his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'There are three who will have a double reward: a man from the people of the scripture who believed in his Prophet then believed in the Messenger, so he will have two rewards; a slave owned by someone who fulfills his right to Allah, Glorious is He and His right to his master, so he will have two rewards; and a man who had a female slave, so he fed her well and taught her good manners, then he freed her and married her, so he will have two rewards.'"
