Bukhari

Narrated Al-Ma'rur: At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' "

And a sinner does not become a disbeliever because of sin. However, if he commits shirk (associating partners with Allah), then he becomes a disbeliever, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said (to a person), "You are a man in whom there is a trace of ignorance." (Despite this wrongdoing, the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not call him a disbeliever.) And Allah has said in Surah An-Nisa: "Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." (__QUR_N__) (And in Surah Al-Hujurat He said:) "And if two groups of believers fight each other, then make peace between them." (__QUR_N__) (In this verse, despite the grave sin of fighting and killing, Allah still called those who fought 'believers.')
