Chapter: Beneficence Towards Slaves
Hadith 3690
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ , عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ , فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ , وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ , وَلَا تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ , فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Dhar said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: '(Slaves are) your brothers whom Allah has put under your control, so feed them with the same food that you eat, clothe them with the same clothes you wear, and do not burden them with so much that htey are overwhelmed; if you do burden them, then help them."
