Value of Slaves

SUMMARY: The best slave is the one who is most valuable to their master and has the highest price.

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah , which slave is best?' He said: 'The one who is most precious to his master and most valuable in price'. "
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا وَأَغْلاَهَا ثَمَنًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the value of slaves. It was narrated by Abu Dharr, who asked Prophet Muhammad which slave was best. The Prophet replied that it was the one who was most precious to his master and most valuable in price. This hadith teaches us that we should be loyal and devoted to our masters, as this will make us more valuable in their eyes. We should also strive to be productive and efficient so that we can increase our worth in terms of money or other resources. Furthermore, this hadith also reminds us that slavery is not something desirable but rather a situation where people are forced into servitude due to poverty or other circumstances beyond their control. Therefore, it is important for us to treat slaves with respect and kindness regardless of their status or background.
