5157. It was narrated from Jarīr from Al-A'mash that Al-Ma'rūr bin Suwaid said: I saw Abū Dharr in Ar-Rabadhah wearing a thick Burd, and his slave was wearing something similar. The people said: O Abū Dharr, why don't you take the one that is on your slave, and put it with this one, then you will have a Hullah,[1] and you can give your slave something else to wear? Abū Dharr said: 'I reviled a man whose mother was a non-Arab, and I insulted him because of his mother. He complained about me to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he said: "O Abū Dharr, you are a man in whom there is still some Jāhiliyyah." He said: "They are your brothers but Allāh has favored you over them. If he does not please you then sell him, and do not torment Allāh's creatures." (Sahih)

5157 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ غَلِيظٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَوْ كُنْتَ أَخَذْتَ الَّذِي عَلَى غُلَامِكَ فَجَعَلْتَهُ مَعَ هَذَا فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَ غُلَامَكَ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ سَابَبْتُ رَجُلًا وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً، فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ، فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ» قَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فَضَّلَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يُلَائِمْكُمْ فَبِيعُوهُ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ»
