Hadith 16

General Subjects

ENGLISH

Malik related to me that he heard that Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), said, "A slave has his food and clothing in the normal manner, and he is only obliged to do such work as he is capable of doing."

ARABIC

حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏ لِلْمَمْلُوكِ طَعَامُهُ وَكِسْوَتُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلاَ يُكَلَّفُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِلاَّ مَا يُطِيقُ ‏
