[4313] 38 - (1661) It was narrated that Al-Ma'rūr bin Suwaid said: "We passed by Abū Dharr in Ar-Rabadhah. He was wearing a Burd and his slave was wearing something similar. We said: 'O Abū Dharr, if you put them together it would be a Hullah.' He said: 'There was an exchange of words between myself and one of my brothers whose mother was a non-Arab, and I insulted him because of his mother. He complained about me to the Prophet ﷺ, then I met the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "O Abū Dharr, you are a man in whom there is some ignorance." I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, if someone insults people, they will insult his father and mother." He said: "O Abū Dharr, you are a man in whom there is some ignorance. They are your brothers whom Allāh has placed under your control, so feed them what you eat, and clothe them with what you wear, and do not burden them with more than they can bear; if you do burden them, then help them."

38 - (1661) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: مَرَرْنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ جَمَعْتَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَتْ حُلَّةً، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي كَلَامٌ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً، فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ، فَشَكَانِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَقِيتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ»، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ سَبَّ الرِّجَالَ سَبُّوا أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ، قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، هُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ، جَعَلَهُمُ اللهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ، وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ، وَلَا تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ»،
