"Allah has made some of your brothers as slaves under your care. So whoever has his brother under his care, then let him feed him from his food, and let him clothe him from his clothes. And do not give him a duty that he cannot bear, and if you give him a duty he cannot bear, then assist him with it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1945)   

أحمد:٢١٤٠٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللهُ فِتْنَةً تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِنْ لِبَاسِهِ وَلَا يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ

"إخوانكم خولُكم، جعلهم الله قُنيةً تحت أيديكُمْ، فمن كان أخوه تحت يدِه فليُطعِمْهُ من طعامهِ، وليلْبِسْه من لباسه، ولَا يكلِّفْه ما يغلبُه (فإن كلَّفه ما يغلُبه) فَلْيُعِنْهُ".
