5161. It was narrated that Abū Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever pleases you among your slaves, feed him from what you eat, and clothe him from what you wear. And whoever does not please you among them, sell him, and do not torment Allāh's creatures.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

5161 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ لَاءَمَكُمْ مِنْ مَمْلُوكِيكُمْ، فَأَطْعِمُوهُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ، وَاَكْسُوهُ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُلَائِمْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ، فَبِيعُوهُ، وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ»
