Ma'rur b. Suwaid reported: I saw Abu Dharr wearing clothes, and his slave wearing similar ones. I asked him about it, and he narrated that he had abused a person during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he reproached him for his mother. That person came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and made mention of that to him. Thereupon Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: You are a person who has (remnants of) Ignorance in him. Your slaves are brothers of yours. Allaah has placed them in your hand, and he who has his brother under him, he should feed him with what he eats, and dress him with what he dresses himself, and do not burden them beyond their capacities, and if you burden them, (beyond their capacities), then help them. |
