Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي
هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ كُلُّهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَوْنُهُ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالنَّاكِحُ الْمُسْتَعْفِفُ وَالْمُكَاتَبُ يُرِيدُ الْأَدَاءَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yahya, from Ibn 'Ajlan, from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id — from the Prophet ﷺ: 'There are three [types of people] — Allah has a right to help each of them: the mujahid [fighter] in Allah's path; the one who marries seeking chastity [al-nasih al-musta'iff]; and the mukatab [slave under an emancipation contract] who intends to fulfill [his payments].'
