Sahih Muslim 1663 (Book 27, Hadith 64) #11428
Kindness to Slaves

SUMMARY: The hadith emphasizes the importance of treating one's slaves with kindness and generosity, by allowing them to eat with their master and providing them with a portion of food.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: When the slave of anyone amongst you prepares food for him and he serves him after having sat close to (and undergoing the hardship of) heat and smoke, he should make him (the slave) sit along with him and make him eat (along with him), and if the food seems to run short, then he should spare some portion for him (from his own share) - (another narrator) Dawud said:" i. e. a morsel or two". 4097
وَحَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا صَنَعَ لأَحَدِكُمْ خَادِمُهُ طَعَامَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ بِهِ وَقَدْ وَلِيَ حَرَّهُ وَدُخَانَهُ فَلْيُقْعِدْهُ مَعَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ فَإِنْ كَانَ الطَّعَامُ مَشْفُوهًا قَلِيلاً فَلْيَضَعْ فِي يَدِهِ مِنْهُ أُكْلَةً أَوْ أُكْلَتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of treating one's slaves with kindness and generosity. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger said that when a slave prepares food for his master, he should be allowed to sit close to him while eating, and if there is not enough food for both, then the master should spare some portion from his own share for his slave. This shows us how important it is to treat our slaves kindly and generously. We should not only provide them with basic necessities but also show them respect by allowing them to eat alongside us. Furthermore, we must ensure that they have enough food even if it means sacrificing some of our own share.
