حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ قَالَ
قَالَ مَعْرُورٌ مَرَرْنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ حُلَّةٌ فَقُلْنَا لَوْ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا وَأَعْطَيْتَ هَذَا غَيْرَهُ كَانَتْ حُلَّةٌ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلاَ يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ
Translation
✧ Maʿrūr said: We passed by Abū Dharr while he was wearing a garment and his slave was wearing a full suit. We said, "If you took this and gave him another, it would be a suit." He said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Your brothers: Allah has placed them under your hands. Whoever has his brother under his hand, let him feed him from what he eats, clothe him from what he wears, and not burden him with what overcomes him. If he burdens him with what overcomes him, then let him help him with it."
