بَابُ الْأَمْرِ بِالرِّفْقِ بِالْمَمْلُوكِCommand to Be Gentle with Slaves
Hadith 1797
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِلْمَمْلُوكِ طَعَامُهُ وَكِسْوَتُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَلَا يُكَلَّفُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا يُطِيقُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A slave (male or female) will be given clothing and food according to custom, and no work will be taken from him beyond his capacity."
