حدثنا مسدد، قال‏:‏ حدثنا يحيى، عن الاعمش قال‏:‏ قال معرور‏:‏ مررنا بابي ذر وعليه ثوب، وعلى غلامه حلة، فقلنا‏:‏ لو اخذت هذا واعطيت هذا غيره، كانت حلة، قال‏:‏ قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:‏ ”إخوانكم جعلهم الله تحت ايديكم، فمن كان اخوه تحت يده، فليطعمه مما ياكل، وليلبسه مما يلبس، ولا يكلفه ما يغلبه، فإن كلفه ما يغلبه فليعنه عليه‏.‏“
It is narrated from Ma’rur that we passed by Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw that he was wearing an ordinary garment while his slave was wearing a (similar) suit. We said: If you took this suit from the slave and gave him some other clothes, it would make a matching set for you. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“These are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority, so whoever has his brother under him should feed him what he himself eats, and clothe him with what he himself wears. And do not burden them with work that overpowers them, and if you do burden them beyond their capacity, then help them.”
