Sahih Muslim

و حَدَّثَنَاه أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ کُلُّهُمْ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ وَأَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ إِنَّکَ امْرُؤٌ فِيکَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ عَلَی حَالِ سَاعَتِي مِنْ الْکِبَرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ نَعَمْ عَلَی حَالِ سَاعَتِکَ مِنْ الْکِبَرِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عِيسَی فَإِنْ کَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيَبِعْهُ وَفِي حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ فَلْيُعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ فَلْيَبِعْهُ وَلَا فَلْيُعِنْهُ انْتَهَی عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ وَلَا يُکَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ

Al-Ma'rur b. Suwaid said: We went to Abu Dharr (Ghifari) in Rabadha and he had a mantle over him, and his slave had one like it. We said: Abu Dharr, had you joined them together, it would have been a complete garment. Thereupon he said: There was an altercation between me and one of the persons among my brothers. His mother was a non-Arab. I reproached him for his mother. He complained against me to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). As I met Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) he said: Abu Dharr, you are a person who still has (in him the remnants) of the days (of Ignorance). Thereupon I said: Allah's Messenger, he who abuses (other) persons, they abuse (in return) his father and mother. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Abu Dharr, you are a person who still has (the remnants) of Ignorance in him They (your servants and slaves) are your brothers. Allah has put them in your care, so feed them with what you eat, clothe them with what you wear. and do not burden them beyond their capacities; but if you burden them (with an unbearable burden), then help them (by sharing their extra burden).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الْأَحْدَبِ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ وَعَلَی غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ فَذَکَرَ أَنَّهُ سَابَّ رَجُلًا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَيَّرَهُ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ فَأَتَی الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ ذَلِکَ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّکَ امْرُؤٌ فِيکَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ إِخْوَانُکُمْ وَخَوَلُکُمْ جَعَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيکُمْ فَمَنْ کَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْکُلُ وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلَا تُکَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ کَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash but with a slight variation of words, e. g. in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhair and Abu Mu'awiya after his words (these words of the Holy Prophet): You are a person having the remnants of Ignorance in him. (these words also occur, that Abu Dharr) said: Even up to this time of my old age? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. In the tradition transmitted on the authority of Abu Mu'awiya (the words are): Yes, in this time of your old age. In the tradition transmitted on the authority of 'Isa (the words are): If you burden him (with an unbearable burden), you should sell him (and get another slave who can easily undertake this burden). In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhair (the words are): Help him in that (work). In the hadith transmitted by Abu Mu'awiya (separately) there is no such word: Then sell him or help him. This hadith concludes with these words: Do not burden him beyond his capacity.

ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ← فَأَتَی الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ ← أَنَّهُ سَابَّ رَجُلًا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَعَيَّرَهُ بِأُمِّهِ ← ذَلِكَ ← رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ وَعَلَی غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ ← الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ← وَاصِلٌ الْأَحْدَبُ ← شُعْبَةُ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّی

و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ بُکَيْرَ بْنَ الْأَشَجِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ الْعَجْلَانِ مَوْلَی فَاطِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْمَمْلُوکِ طَعَامُهُ وَکِسْوَتُهُ وَلَا يُکَلَّفُ مِنْ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا يُطِيقُ

Ma'rur b. Suwaid reported: I saw Abu Dharr wearing clothes, and his slave wearing similar ones. I asked him about it, and he narrated that he had abused a person during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upoe. him) and he reproached him for his mother. That person came to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and made mention of that to him. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: You are a person who has (remnants of) Ignorance in him. Your slaves are brothers of yours. Allah has placed them in your hand, and he who has his brother under him, he should feed him with what he eats, and dress him with what he dresses himself, and do not burden them beyond their capacities, and if you burden them, (beyond their capacities), then help them.

لِلْمَمْلُوکِ طَعَامُهُ وَکِسْوَتُهُ وَلَا يُکَلَّفُ مِنْ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا يُطِيقُ ← رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ ← أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← الْعَجْلَانِ مَوْلَی فَاطِمَةَ ← عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ بُكَيْرَ بْنَ الْأَشَجِّ، ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَنَعَ لِأَحَدِکُمْ خَادِمُهُ طَعَامَهُ ثُمَّ جَائَهُ بِهِ وَقَدْ وَلِيَ حَرَّهُ وَدُخَانَهُ فَلْيُقْعِدْهُ مَعَهُ فَلْيَأْکُلْ فَإِنْ کَانَ الطَّعَامُ مَشْفُوهًا قَلِيلًا فَلْيَضَعْ فِي يَدِهِ مِنْهُ أُکْلَةً أَوْ أُکْلَتَيْنِ قَالَ دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: It is essential to feed the slave, clothe him (properly) and not burden him with work which is beyond his power.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ← دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، ← الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ← و،

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مَالِکٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا نَصَحَ لِسَيِّدِهِ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) 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

ابْنِ عُمَرَ ← نَافِعٍ ← على مالك، ← يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی

و حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی وَهُوَ الْقَطَّانُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ کُلُّهُمْ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ح و حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أُسَامَةُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِکٍ

Ibn Umar reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: When a slave looks to the welfare of his master and worships Allah well, he has two rewards for him.

النَّبِيِّ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِکٍ ← ابْنِ عُمَرَ ← نَافِعٍ ← أُسَامَةُ جَمِيعًا ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ ← و، ← عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ← ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ کُلُّهُمْ ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ← و، ← أَبِي ← ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ← و، ← يَحْيَی وَهُوَ الْقَطَّانُ ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی ← و،

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمَمْلُوکِ الْمُصْلِحِ أَجْرَانِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَجُّ وَبِرُّ أُمِّي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوکٌ قَالَ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ لَمْ يَکُنْ يَحُجُّ حَتَّی مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ لِصُحْبَتِهَا قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمُصْلِحِ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ الْمَمْلُوکَ

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar through another chain of transmitters.

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ← سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ← ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ← يُونُسَ ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی

و حَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَفْوَانَ الْأُمَوِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ بَلَغَنَا وَمَا بَعْدَهُ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: For a faithful slave there are two rewards. By him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Huraira, but for Jihad in the cause of Allah, and Pilgrimage and kindness to my mother, I would have preferred to die as a slave. He (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: This news reached us that Abu Huraira did not perform Pilgrimage until his mother died for (keeping himself constantly) in her service.

ابْنِ شِهَابٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ بَلَغَنَا وَمَا بَعْدَهُ ← يُونُسَ ← أَبُو صَفْوَانَ الْأُمَوِيُّ ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَدَّی الْعَبْدُ حَقَّ اللَّهِ وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ کَانَ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُهَا کَعْبًا فَقَالَ کَعْبٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حِسَابٌ وَلَا عَلَی مُؤْمِنٍ مُزْهِدٍ

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Tahir but with a slight variation of words.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← اَبِیْ صَالِحٍ ← الْاَعْمَشِ ← أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ← أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: When a slave fulfils obligation of Allah and obligation of his master, he has two rewards for him. I narrated this to Ka'b, and Ka'b said: (Such a slave) has no accountability, nor has a poor believer.

الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ← جَرِيرٌ ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِعِمَّا لِلْمَمْلُوکِ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّی يُحْسِنُ عِبَادَةَ اللَّهِ وَصَحَابَةَ سَيِّدِهِ نِعِمَّا لَهُ

The above hadith has been reported through another chain of transmitters on the authority of Abu Huraira.

رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَکَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ ← أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ← ھٰذَا مَا ← هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ← مَعْمَرٌ، ← عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، ← و،

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَالِکٍ حَدَّثَکَ نَافِعٌ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْکًا لَهُ فِي عَبْدٍ فَکَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ قُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ الْعَدْلِ فَأَعْطَی شُرَکَائَهُ حِصَصَهُمْ وَعَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِلَّا فَقَدْ عَتَقَ مِنْهُ مَا عَتَقَ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: It is good for a slave that he worships Allah well, and serves his master (well). It is good for him.

ابْنِ عُمَرَ ← قُلْتُ لِمَالِکٍ حَدَّثَکَ نَافِعٌ ← يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی
