According to al-Maʿrur (ra), “I met Abu Dharr at al-Rabadha. He and his slave were wearing the same attire. I asked him the reason for this. He said, ‘I exchanged abusive language with a man. I abused him by calling his mother bad names. Then the Prophet (saw) said to me, ‘O Abu Dharr! Did you abuse him by calling his mother bad names? You are a man (in which there are traces of) the period of the Jahiliyya. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. Whoever has a brother under his command should feed him what he eats and dress him with what he wears. Do not ask them (the slaves) to do things beyond their power, and if you do, then help them.’”  (al-Bukhari, al-Iman, 22)
