Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 5230 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding Kindness
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ قِنْيَةً تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِنْ لِبَاسِهِ وَلَا يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Protect your brothers; Allah Almighty has placed them under your ownership. So, whoever has his brother under his ownership, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears, and do not burden him with work that overpowers him. If you do burden him with such work, then assist him.
