Volume 1, Book 2, Number 29:
Narrated Al-Ma’rur:
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 ca –
pacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.’ “

you going?” I replied, “I am going to help that person.” He said, “Go back for I have heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as
well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! It is all right for the murderer
but what about the murdered one?’ Allah’s Apostle replied, “He surely had the intention to kill his
companion.”

ship with Allah is a great injustice (wrong) indeed.” (31.13)
