Narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Each of you is a guardian and each of you will be questioned about his responsibility. So, the ruler who is responsible for the people will be questioned about his subjects, and a man is a guardian over the members of his household and will be questioned about his responsibility, and a servant is a guardian over his master's wealth and will be questioned about it. Beware! All of you are guardians and all of you will be questioned about your responsibilities."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: When a slave obeys his master, it is as if he has obeyed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and when he disobeys his master, it is as if he has disobeyed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a Muslim slave fulfills the right of his master, he will have a double reward." By the One in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! If it were not for striving in the way of Allah, performing Hajj, and serving my mother, I would have preferred to die in the state of slavery.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "None of you should say to (his male slave) «عبدي» and to (his female slave) «امتي» , because you are all slaves of Allah and all your women are bondwomen of Allah. Rather, you should say: my slave, my bondwoman, my young man, and my young woman."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "None of you should ever say: 'My slave (male) and my slave-girl (female),' and a slave should never say: 'My lord and my lady.' The owner should call the slave and slave-girl 'my young man' and 'my young woman,' and the slave should call the owner 'my master.' All of you are slaves of Allah, and the Lord is Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

Mutarrif narrates from his father (Abdullah bin Shukhayr) that he said: I went with a delegation of Banu Amir to the service of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and they said to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): "You are our master." The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The Master is Allah." They said: "You are more virtuous and honorable than us." The narrator says that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Say what you have to say, and do not let Satan make you his agent."
