The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A horse that you keep tied, on which you ride and fight in the path of Allah, and a slave who does your work for you.

I heard him say: "Every prophet has had a close friend (khalil) from among his Ummah, and my close friend is Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafah; but Allah Almighty has taken your master as His close friend. Beware! The nations before you took the graves of their prophets as places of prostration, and I forbid you from that. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)?" He said this three times. Then he said: "O Allah, bear witness!" He said this three times. Then he fainted for a short while, then he said: "Fear Allah, fear Allah, regarding those under your ownership. Keep their stomachs full, keep their bodies covered, and speak gently to them."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, give us a servant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take whichever of the two you wish." He said: You choose one for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this one, and do not beat him, for I saw him praying on our return from Khaybar, and I have been forbidden to beat those who pray." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a slave to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Accept the instruction to treat him well." So Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) set him free. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What has become of the slave?" He said: O Messenger of Allah, you commanded me to accept the instruction to treat him well, so I set him free.
