Sahih Muslim

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:For a faithful slave there are two rewards.

He (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: This news reached us that Abu Huraira did not perform Pilgrimage until his mother died for (keeping himself constantly) in her service
