Chapter: Fairness to slaves and to the animals one keeps
Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2823 — Fairness to slaves and to the animals one
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ : بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ رَقِيقِكُمُ السُّودَانَ ، إِنْ جَاعُوا سَرَقُوا ، وَإِنْ شَبِعُوا زَنَوْا .
It is narrated from Abu Sinan (may Allah have mercy on him), the freed slave of Banu Hashim, that it reached us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst of your slaves and servants are the black ones (Abyssinians), for when they suffer hunger and need they take to stealing, and when they are well-off and full they fall into immorality (zina)."
Al-Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Musnad, but this report is munqati' (broken) and mursal in its chain, because Abu Sinan is counted among the Successors (Tabi'in) and his direct hearing from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not established; therefore, from the scholarly and technical standpoint, this report is considered da'if (weak).
