Sunan Ibn Majah 3690 (Book 33, Hadith 34) #33044
Kindness to Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to treat our slaves with kindness and compassion, providing them with the same food and clothing that we have, and not burdening them with too much work.

It was narrated that Abu Dhar said: "The Messenger of Allah said: '(Slaves are) your brothers whom Allah has put under your control, so feed them with the same food that you eat, clothe them with the same clothes you wear, and do not burden them with so much that they are overwhelmed; if you do burden them, then help them".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us an important lesson about how to treat those who are under our control. He said that we should provide slaves with the same food and clothing that we have, so they can live comfortably. We should also not burden them with too much work or tasks; if we do give them a lot of work, then it is our responsibility to help them in completing it. This hadith teaches us the importance of being kind and compassionate towards others, even if they are in a lower position than us. It also reminds us of our responsibility as leaders or people in power to take care of those who are under our control.
