Sahih Muslim Book - 27, Hadith - 4320

حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لِلْعَبْدِ الْمَمْلُوكِ الْمُصْلِحِ أَجْرَانِ ». وَالَّذِى نَفْسُ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَجُّ وَبِرُّ أُمِّى لأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ. قَالَ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحُجُّ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ لِصُحْبَتِهَا. قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ فِى حَدِيثِهِ « لِلْعَبْدِ الْمُصْلِحِ ». وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَمْلُوكَ.

It was narrated that Ibn Shibab said: I heard Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab say: 'Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The faithful slave will- have two rewards.' By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Abu Hurairah, were it not for Jihad in the cause of Allah, Hajj and honoring my mother, I would have liked to die a slave . He said: "We heard that Abu Hurairah did not perform Hajj until his mother died, because he kept her company."
