Servants and Slaves Treatment حسن معاملة العبيد والخدم

  • [30 ] عَنِ المَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيدٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ : لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بَالرِّبْذَةِ  وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ  وَعَلَى غُلامِهِ حُلَّةٌ  فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ  فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً  فَعَيَّرتُهُ بٍأُمِّه  فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم (( يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيَّرتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ ؛ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَةٌ ؛ إِخْوَانُكُم خَوَلُكُمْ  جَعَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ ؛ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ ؛  فليُطْعِمه مِمَّا يَأكُلُ ؛ وليُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ ؛ ولا تُكَلِّفُوهُم  مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ ؛ فَإِنْ كلَّفتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ ))

(البخاري )

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.’ ”

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • [2557] عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه : عَنْ النَّبِيَّ  صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : (( إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ  بِطَعَامِه ِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُجْلِسْهُ  مَعَهُ  فَليُنَاوِلْهُ  لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ  أَوْ أُكْلَةً أًوْ أُكْلَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ وَلِيَ عِلاجَهُ ))

(البخاري )

Narrated Abu Huraira

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “When your servant brings your meals to you then if he does not let him sit and share the meals, then he should at least give him a mouthful or two mouthfuls of that meal or a meal or two meals, as he has prepared it.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • (70) عَنْ جَرِيرٍ رضي الله عنه  عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : (( إِذا أَبَقَ العَّبْدُ  لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاةٌ ))

( صحيح مسلم )

Jarir b. Abdullah reported it from the Holy Prophet

When the slave runs away from his master, his prayer is not accepted

( Sahih Muslim )

  • (5159)  عَنْ زَاذَانَ  قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَقَدْ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكًا لَهُ فَأَخَذَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ عُودًا  أَوْ شَيْئًا  فَقَالَ : مَالِي فِيهِ مِنَ الأَجْرِ مَا يَسْوَى هَذَا ؛ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ (( مَنْ لَطَمَ  مَمْلُوكَهُ  أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ  فَكَفَّارَتُهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ  ))

( سنن أبي داود )

Zadhan said

I came to Ibn ‘Umar when he set his slave free. He took a stick or something else from the earth and said; for me there is no reward even equivalent to this. I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: If anyone slaps or beats his slave the atonement due from him is to set him free

(Sunan Abi Dawud)
