Sunan an-Nasai 3120 (Book 25, Hadith 36) #17732
Allah's Promise of Help

SUMMARY: Allah will help those who strive in His cause, those who get married to remain chaste, and slaves who seek to buy their freedom.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "There are three, all of whom have a promise of help from Allah: 'The Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime; the man who gets married, seeking to keep himself chaste; and the slave who has a contract of manumission and wants to buy his freedom'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَوْنُهُ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالنَّاكِحُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ الْعَفَافَ وَالْمُكَاتَبُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ الأَدَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the promise of help from Allah for three different types of people. The first is the Mujahid, or one who strives in the cause of Allah. This could mean someone fighting a physical battle for Islam or someone striving to do good deeds and spread knowledge about Islam. The second is someone getting married with the intention to remain chaste and not engage in any immoral activities. Lastly, it speaks about a slave seeking manumission or freedom from slavery through buying his own freedom with money or other means. All three have a promise from Allah that He will help them achieve their goals if they are sincere in their intentions and actions.
