At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' "  

لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ حُلَّةٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيَّرْتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ  

I saw Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a cloak. We asked him about that (i.e. how both were wearing similar cloaks). He replied, "Once I abused a man and he complained of me to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ asked me, 'Did you abuse him by slighting his mother?' He added, 'Your slaves are your brethren upon whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's brethren under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears. You should not overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do so, help them (in their hard job).  

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ ؓ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ حُلَّةٌ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً فَشَكَانِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعَيَّرْتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ  

I saw Abu Dharr wearing clothes, and his slave wearing similar ones. I asked him about it, and he narrated that he had abused a person during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah (may peace be upoe. him) and he reproached him for his mother. That person came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and made mention of that to him. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: You are a person who has (remnants of) Ignorance in him. Your slaves are brothers of yours. Allah has placed them in your hand, and he who has his brother under him, he should feed him with what he eats, and dress him with what he dresses himself, and do not burden them beyond their capacities, and if you burden them, (beyond their capacities), then help them.  

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ مِثْلُهَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَابَّ رَجُلاً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَيَّرَهُ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ إِخْوَانُكُمْ وَخَوَلُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] "He insulted a man's mother who was under the protection of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The man went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what happened. The Prophet ﷺ told him, 'You are a man who still has traces of ignorance. Your brothers and relatives, Allah has made them under your care. So whoever has his brother under his care, let him provide him with food from what he himself eats, and clothe him with what he himself wears. Do not burden them with what overwhelms them. And if you burden them, then help them.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَابَّ رَجُلًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَيَّرَهُ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺفَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلَا تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] We met Abu Dharr wearing a robe, and his servant was wearing a similar one. A man said to him, "O Abu Dharr, if you took this robe from your servant and wore it, it would be elegant, and you could dress your servant in another robe." Abu Dharr said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'They are your brothers, Allah has put them under your care. So whoever's brother is under his care, let him feed him from what he eats, and let him dress him with what he wears, and do not burden him with what overwhelms him. If you give him a task, then help him.'" This hadith is narrated in Sahih from the hadith of Al-A'mash.  

لَقِينَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ مِنْ غُلَامِكَ فَلَبِسْتَهُ فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَ غُلَامَكَ ثَوْبًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلَا يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ  

"يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيرتَه بِأُمِّهِ، إِنَّك امْروءٌ فيِكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، إخوانكُم خَوَلكم، جَعَلَهم الله تَحْتَ أَيدِيكُم، فَمَنَ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطعمهُ مِمَّا يَأكُل، وَلْيلْبِسْه مِما يَلْبَس وَلَا تُكلِّفُوهُم مَا يَغْلِبهم، فإنْ كَلَّفْتُموهُم فَأعِينُوهُم".
