Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When the Muslim slave performs the due
of Allah and the due of his master, he will have two rewards."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "None of you should say, 'My slave ('abdi)'
or 'my slavegirl (amati)' All of you are slaves of Allah and all
of your women are slaves of Allah. Rather you should say, 'My boy (ghulami)',
my slavegirl (jariyyati)', 'my lad (fatayi)' or 'my girl
(fatati).'"
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "All of you are shepherds and each of you
is responsible for his flock. The amir of a people is a shepherd and he
is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of the people of his
house and he is responsible for his flock. A man's slave is the shepherd
of his master's property and he is responsible for it. Each of you is a
shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock."
