adab:199

Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised that slaves be well treated. He said, 'Feed them from what you eat and clothe them from what you wear and do not punish Allah's creation.'"

الأدب المفرد:١٩٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُوصِي بِالْمَمْلُوكِينَ خَيْرًا وَيَقُولُ أَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِنْ لَبُوسِكُمْ وَلاَ تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللهِ
