Sahih Muslim Book - 27, Hadith - 4313

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ مَرَرْنَا بِأَبِى ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ مِثْلُهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ جَمَعْتَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَتْ حُلَّةً. فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِى كَلاَمٌ وَكَانَتْ أَمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ فَشَكَانِى إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَقِيتُ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ ». قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ سَبَّ الرِّجَالَ سَبُّوا أَبَاهُ وَأُمُّهُ. قَالَ « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ هُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَأَلْبِسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ ».

It was narrated that Al-Ma'rur bin Suwaid said: "We passed by Abu Dharr in Ar-Rabadhah. He was wearing a Burd and his slave was wearing something similar. We said: 'O Abu 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 (s.a.w), then I met the Prophet (s.a.w) and he said: "O Abu Dharr, you are a man in whom there is some ignorance." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, if someone insults people, they will insult his father and mother." He said: "O Abu Dharr, you are a man in whom there is some ignorance. They are your brothers whom Allah 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."
