حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ غَلِيظٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَوْ كُنْتَ أَخَذْتَ الَّذِي عَلَى غُلَامِكَ فَجَعَلْتَهُ مَعَ هَذَا فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَ غُلَامَكَ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ سَابَبْتُ رَجُلًا وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فَضَّلَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ لَمْ يُلَائِمْكُمْ فَبِيعُوهُ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ .

I saw Abu Dharr at Rabadhah. He was wearing a thick cloak, and his slave also wore a similar one. He said: the people said: Abu Dharr! (it would be better) if you could take the cloak which your slave wore, and you combined that with, and it would be a pair of garments (hullah) and you would clothe him with another garment. He said: Abu Dharr said: I abused a man whose mother was a non-Arab and I reviled him for his mother. He complained against me to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said: Abu Dharr! You are a man who has a characteristic of pre-Islamic days. He said: they are your brethren; Allah has given you superiority over them; sell those who do not please you and do not punish Allah’s creatures.
