[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "For the rulers, their food and clothing is upon us and they should not be burdened with more than they can bear. If you assign them responsibilities, then assist them and do not punish the slaves of Allah who are like you."  

ابن حبّان:٤٣١٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِ عَنْ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لِلْمَمْلُوكِ طَعَامُهُ وَكِسْوَتُهُ وَلَا يُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا مَا يُطِيقُ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ خَلْقًا أَمْثَالَكُمْ»
