Abu Hurairah relates: A man came to the Holy Prophet and asked: Messenger of Allah, tell me if a person comes intending to take away my property, what shall I do? He answered: Do not give it to him. The man asked: but what if he should fight me? The Holy Prophet said: Then fight him. The man asked: If he should kill me? Then you are a martyr. The man asked: If I should kill him?

Abu Dharr relates: I asked the Holy Prophet: What is most meritorious? He said: Faith in Allah and striving in His cause. I asked: The freeing of which slave is best? He said: Of that one whom the master likes best and whose value is highest. I asked: If one is not able to do that? He said: Then help someone with his work, or make something for someone who is not able to make it himself. I asked: If one should not have the strength? He said: Restrain thyself from doing harm to anyone for that also is charity towards thyself (Bokhari and Muslim).
Ma‘arur ibn Su‘ud relates: I saw Abu Dharr wearing a cloak and I noticed that his slave was wearing the like of it. I inquired from him about this and he explained that in the time of the Holy Prophet he had a sharp exchange with a man and shamed him by making a reference to his mother. Thereupon the Holy Prophet said to me: You still have traces of pre-Islamic culture in you. Your servants are your brothers whom your Lord has placed under your authority. He who has a brother under his authority should feed him out of that which he eats himself and should clothe him as he clothes himself. Do not assign a task to them which is beyond their strength and if you do so help them in carrying it out (Bokhari and Muslim).
