Al-Adab al-Mufrad 188 — Clothe Them as You Clothe Yourselves
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُبَشِّرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوصِي بِالْمَمْلُوكِينَ خَيْرًا وَيَقُولُ: ”أَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ، وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِنْ لَبُوسِكُمْ، وَلاَ تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.“
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), while advising good treatment of slaves, used to say: "Feed them with what you eat yourself, and clothe them with what you wear yourself, and do not torment the creation of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
