حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ وَاصِلٌ الْأَحْدَبُ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمَعْرُورَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ ثَوْبٌ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ أَيْ مَعْنَى الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الْأَحْدَبِ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ سَمِعْتُ الْمَعْرُورَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَعَلَ
يْهِ حُلَّةٌ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَابَّ رَجُلًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَيَّرَهُ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلَا تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was seen at al-Rabadha wearing a suit of clothing, and his slave was wearing the same. When asked about it, he mentioned that he had insulted a man in the time of the Prophet دلوالله by taunting him about his mother. The Prophet دلوالله told him: "You are a man who still has some pre-Islamic ignorance in you. They are your brothers and your servants. Allah has placed them in your care, so whoever has a brother in his care, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears."
