English narration
Narrated by نفيع بن مسروح الثقفي
At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' "
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ وَيُونُسُ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبْتُ لِأَنْصُرَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ قُلْتُ : أَنْصُرُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : "
إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا ، فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ ، فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ
