عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ سَيِّئُ الْمَلَكَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ أَخْبَرْتَنَا أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ أَكْثَرُ الْأُمَمِ مَمْلُوكِينَ وَأَيْتَامًا قَالَ بَلَى فَأَكْرِمُوهُمْ كَرَامَةَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ وَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ قَالُوا فَمَا يَنْفَعُنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَرَسٌ صَالِحٌ تَرْتَبِطُهُ تُقَاتِلُ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَمْلُوكٌ يَكْفِيكَ فَإِذَا صَلَّى فَهُوَ أَخُوكَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever mistreats slaves will not enter Paradise. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Did you not tell us that this Ummah will have the most slaves and orphans? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, but honor them as you honor your own children and feed them from what you eat yourself. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! What thing can benefit us in this world? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A fine horse that you have tied up for striving in the way of Allah, and a slave who fulfills your needs, and if he is one who performs prayer, then he is your brother.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … That is, due to the prayer, one will also have to honor him, because now he is no longer merely a servant’s slave, but has become one who bows before Allah Ta’ala.
