Chapter: Clothe Them as You Clothe Yourselves
Hadith Number: 187
حدثنا محمد بن عباد، قال: حدثنا حاتم بن إسماعيل، عن يعقوب بن مجاهد ابي حزرة، عن عبادة بن الوليد بن عبادة بن الصامت قال: خرجت انا وابي نطلب العلم في هذا الحي في الانصار، قبل ان يهلكوا، فكان اول من لقينا ابو اليسر صاحب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعه غلام له، وعلى ابي اليسر بردة ومعافري، وعلى غلامه بردة ومعافري، فقلت له: يا عمي، لو اخذت بردة غلامك واعطيته معافريك، او اخذت معافريه واعطيته بردتك، كانت عليك حلة او عليه حلة، فمسح راسي وقال: اللهم بارك فيه، يا ابن اخي، بصر عيني هاتين، وسمع اذني هاتين، ووعاه قلبي واشار إلى نياط قلبه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: ”اطعموهم مما تاكلون، واكسوهم مما تلبسون“، وكان ان اعطيه من متاع الدنيا اهون علي من ان ياخذ من حسناتي يوم القيامة.
It is narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Walid bin ‘Ubadah that I and my respected father went to a tribe of the Ansar to seek knowledge, so that we could learn before they passed away. The first person we met was the companion of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), Sayyiduna Abu Yusr (may Allah be pleased with him), and his slave was with him. Sayyiduna Abu Yusr (may Allah be pleased with him) was wearing a sheet and a Ma‘afiri garment, and his slave was also dressed in a sheet and a Ma‘afiri garment. I said: Uncle! If you took the striped sheet from the slave and gave him the Ma‘afiri garment, or took the Ma‘afiri garment from him and gave him your sheet, then both of you would have matching outfits. He placed his hand on my head and said: O Allah! Bless him. O my nephew! I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with these two eyes of mine, heard him with these two ears, and my heart has retained it, and he pointed towards his heart. He ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to say:“Feed them with what you eat yourself, and clothe them with what you wear yourself.”And for me to give him from the wealth of this world is easier for me than for him to take from my good deeds on the Day of Resurrection.

حدثنا سعيد بن سليمان، قال: حدثنا مروان بن معاوية، قال: حدثنا الفضل بن مبشر قال: سمعت جابر بن عبد الله يقول: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوصي بالمملوكين خيرا ويقول: ”اطعموهم مما تاكلون، والبسوهم من لبوسكم، ولا تعذبوا خلق الله عز وجل.“
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), while advising good treatment of slaves, used to say: "Feed them with what you eat yourself, and clothe them with what you wear yourself, and do not torment the creation of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
