Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard Abul Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever falsely accuses his slave of something, while the slave is innocent of that accusation, will be flogged on the Day of Resurrection, unless what he said was true.

Hazrat Ma’rur narrates that I met Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) at Rabadhah. He was wearing a suit, and his slave was also wearing a suit. I inquired about the reason for this, so he said: I had once abused a person, that is, my slave, and taunted him about his mother (i.e., insulted him), so when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he said to me: O Abu Dharr! You have taunted him about his mother; indeed, there is still some effect of the Age of Ignorance left in you. (Remember) those under you are your brothers. Allah has placed them under your authority (for some wisdom of His), so whoever has his brother under him, he should feed him what he himself eats, and clothe him with what he himself wears, and do not burden them with work that is too much for them, and if you do assign them a difficult task, then help them yourself.

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When the servant of any one of you brings his food to him, if he cannot seat him with himself, then at least let him give him a morsel or two from that food, for he has endured its heat and preparation.

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A slave who is loyal to his master and also worships his Lord well will receive a double reward.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A slave who is owned by someone and is righteous will receive a double reward. And Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! If it were not for striving in the path of Allah, Hajj, and serving my mother (preventing me), I would have preferred to die as a slave.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How excellent is the slave who fulfills the worship of his Lord with complete beauty and goodness, and also remains sincere to his master.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever frees his share of a jointly owned slave, and he has enough wealth to pay the full price of the slave, then it is obligatory for him to free the entire slave. But if he does not have enough wealth to pay the full and correct price of the slave, then only the portion of the slave that has been freed is considered free.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, it is necessary for him to grant complete freedom to the slave from his own wealth. But if he does not have enough wealth, then the value of the slave should be assessed justly, and then the slave should be told to earn and pay the price of the remaining share himself in his effort for freedom, but no pressure should be put on the slave for this.

Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man from the Ansar tribe made his slave a mudabbar (a slave who is to be freed after the master's death), and he had no other property except this slave. When this was reported to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he inquired, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Naeem bin Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) bought him from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for eight hundred dirhams.
