We visited Abu Dharr at Rabadhah, and we found him wearing a cloak while his servant wore one just like it. We said, "Abu Dharr, if you had taken your servant's cloak together with your own, it would have made a complete set, and you could have clothed him in a different garment."He replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'They are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority. So whoever has his brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats, clothe him from what he wears, and not burden him with what overwhelms him. If he does burden him with such a task, then let him help him with it.'"

دخلنا على أبي ذر بالربذة فإذا عليه برد وعلى غلامه مثله فقلنا يا أبا ذر لو أخذت برد غلامك إلى بردك فكانت حلة وكسوته ثوبا غيره قال سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول إخوانكم جعلهم الله تحت أيديكم فمن كان أخوه تحت يديه فليطعمه مما يأكل وليكسه مما يلبس ولا يكلفه ما يغلبه فإن كلفه ما يغلبه فليعنه
