5158. It was narrated from Yūnus: Al-A'mash narrated to us that Al-Ma'rūr bin Suwaid said: We entered upon Abū Dharr and he was wearing a Burd and his slave was wearing something similar. We said: "O Abū Dharr, why don't you take your slave's Burd then you will have a Hullah, and you can give him something else to wear.” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘(They are) your brothers, whom Allāh has put under your control. Whoever has his brother under his control, let him feed him from what he eats, and clothe him from what he wears, and let him not give him more to do than he is able, and if he does that then let him help him.’” (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Ibn Numair reported it from Al-A’mash, similarly.

5158 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ بُرْدَ غُلَامِكَ إِلَى بُرْدِكَ فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَهُ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ، مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ، وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ، وَلَا يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ، فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ نَحْوَهُ
