Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A slave will be given food and clothing, and he will only be made responsible for what he is capable of. If you assign him a task, then you should also help him, and do not torment the servants of Allah, for they are also creatures like you."
