The Prophet’s Compassion: A Deep Dive into Islamic Teachings on Servant Rights

The Prophet’s Compassion: A Deep Dive into Islamic Teachings on Servant Rights

The Rights of Servants in Islam and the Prophet’s (PBUH) Treatment of Them

Allah, the Almighty, sent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a mercy for all of humanity. His life is a reflection of mercy and compassion. In all his interactions—whether in speech, transactions, or work—he displayed the finest manners. His life, both in the Meccan and Medinan periods, is a perfect example for us to follow in every aspect of our lives. In this article, we will explore how the Prophet (PBUH) treated his servants

Three different types of people related to work and service.

There are references in the Qur’an and Hadith regarding three different types of people related to work and service, and I will discuss these to highlight the importance of treating service workers with kindness.

1. The first type of servant is a slave who is captured in war as part of the spoils of war. These individuals are not free but are owned by their masters.
2. The second type is a servant employed for wages or, in some cases, out of goodwill, without slavery.
3. The third type is a laborer who works on a temporary basis for wages.

These three categories refer to people who serve others, and although slavery is no longer a common institution, the roles of servants and laborers will always exist. I will first present the rights of these workers according to the teachings of Islam and then provide examples from the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to illustrate how he interacted with them.

Workers’ Rights according to the teachings of Islam

1. Paying workers on time: The wages of a worker must be paid promptly. Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
   
   • أعطوا الأجيرَ أجرَهُ قبلَ أن يجفَّ عرقُهُ
     (صحيح ابن ماجه:1995)
     Translation: “Pay the laborer his wages before his sweat dries.”
2. Not paying workers or reducing their wages: Failing to pay the agreed wages or reducing them is a cause of Allah’s anger on the Day of Judgment. Abu Huraira (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
   
   • قالَ اللَّهُ تَعالَى: ثَلاثَةٌ أنا خَصْمُهُمْ يَومَ القِيامَةِ، رَجُلٌ أعْطَى بي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ، ورَجُلٌ باعَ حُرًّا فأكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ، ورَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أجِيرًا فاسْتَوْفَى منه ولَمْ يُعْطِهِ أجْرَهُ.
     (صحيح البخاري:2270)
     Translation: “Allah the Almighty says: ‘There are three people against whom I will be a claimant on the Day of Judgment: A person who made a covenant with Me, then broke it; a person who sold a free man and consumed the price; and a person who hired a laborer, took full work from him but did not give him his wages.'”
3. Not overburdening servants with work: Some servants have specific tasks, while others may not. However, Islam teaches that workers should not be tasked with work beyond their ability. If heavy tasks are assigned to servants, their employers should assist them. Abu Dhar (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
   
   • إخوانُكم جعلَهمُ اللَّهُ فتيةً تحتَ أيديكم فمن كانَ أخوهُ تحتَ يدِهِ فليطعمْهُ من طعامِهِ وليلبسْهُ من لباسِهِ ولاَ يُكلِّفْهُ ما يغلبُهُ فإن كلَّفَهُ ما يغلبُهُ فليعنْهُ
     (صحيح الترمذي:1945)
     Translation: “Your servants are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority. Therefore, if one of your brothers is under your hand, feed him from your food, clothe him from your clothes, and do not burden him with work he cannot bear. If you do burden him, help him.”
4. Servants are like brothers: From the above Hadith, we learn that servants are like our brothers, and we should treat them with kindness and fairness. We should avoid any behavior that might be unpleasant or oppressive to them.
   
5. Treating servants with kindness: We should deal with our servants with excellent manners and high character. Even if a servant behaves poorly, we should maintain our dignity and show forgiveness and leniency. The Prophet (PBUH) said:
   • إنْ أحسَنوا فاقبَلوا ، وإنْ أساؤوا فاعفُوا ، وإنْ غلَبوكُم فَبيعوا
     (صحيح الترغيب:2283)
     Translation: “If your servant treats you well, accept it; if he mistreats you, forgive him; and if he overpowers you, sell him.”

(6) When a mistake occurs from a servant or worker, it should be forgiven, and our hearts should be so broad that we can forgive them up to seventy times a day. Abdullah bin Umar رضي الله عنهما says:

جاءَ رجلٌ إلى النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالَ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ كم أعفو عنِ الخادمِ فصمتَ عنه رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثمَّ قالَ يا رسولَ اللَّهِ كم أعفو عنِ الخادمِ فقالَ: كلَّ يومٍ سبعينَ مرَّةً( صحيح الترمذي:1948)

Translation: A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked, “O Messenger of Allah, how many times should I forgive my servant?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم remained silent at first, and then the man asked again, “O Messenger of Allah, how many times should I forgive my servant?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “Forgive him seventy times a day.”

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also forbade beating or tormenting servants. Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه says that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

من لاءَمَكم مِن مملوكيكم فأطْعِموه مما تأكلون، واكسُوه مما تَلْبَسون ، ومَن لم يلائَمْكم منهم فبِيعوه ولا تعذِّبوا خلقَ اللهِ(صحيح أبي داود:5161)

Translation: “Those of your servants and slaves who are agreeable to you, feed them what you eat and clothe them with what you wear. And those who are not agreeable, sell them, and do not torment Allah’s creation.”

Similarly, in Sahih Muslim (1659), it is mentioned that when Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari رضي الله عنه struck his servant, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم admonished him, saying: “Allah has more power over you than you have over this servant.” After that, Abu Mas’ud never struck a servant again. In another narration, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “If you had set this servant free, fire would have surrounded you.” (صحيح أبي داود:5159) Here, it is also important to note that the expiation for beating a servant is to free them.

If, in a justified situation, a servant must be struck, it should be done on the body, avoiding the face. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

إذا ضرب أحدُكم خادمَه ، فلْجَتَنِبِ الوجْه( صحيح الأدب المفرد:130)

Translation: “If any of you strikes his servant, let him avoid the face.”

(7) Islam teaches not only kind treatment but also to avoid using derogatory terms when calling a servant. In the pre-Islamic period, a master would call his servant “my slave,” and the servant would call his master “my lord,” but Islam prohibited this. Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

لا يَقُولَنَّ أحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي، فَكُلُّكُمْ عَبِيدُ اللهِ، ولَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: فَتايَ، ولا يَقُلِ العَبْدُ: رَبِّي، ولَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: سَيِّدِي.(صحيح مسلم:2249)

Translation: “None of you should say: ‘My slave.’ For all of you are the slaves of Allah. But let him say: ‘My young man.’ And the slave should not say: ‘My lord,’ but let him say: ‘My master.'”

(8) Islam also teaches the significance of sitting and eating with servants. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, according to Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه:

إذا صَنَعَ لأَحَدِكُمْ خادِمُهُ طَعامَهُ، ثُمَّ جاءَهُ به، وقدْ ولِيَ حَرَّهُ ودُخانَهُ، فَلْيُقْعِدْهُ معهُ، فَلْيَأْكُلْ، فإنْ كانَ الطَّعامُ مَشْفُوهًا قَلِيلًا، فَلْيَضَعْ في يَدِهِ منه أُكْلَةً، أوْ أُكْلَتَيْنِ.(صحيح مسلم:1663)

Translation: “When one of you is served food by his servant, and the servant has borne the heat and smoke of preparing the food, let him sit with him and eat. If the food is insufficient for both, let him place one or two morsels in the servant’s hand.”

Eating with servants is a sign of humility. Thus, as narrated by Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

ما اسْتَكْبَرَ مَنْ أكلَ مَعَهُ خَادِمُهُ ، و رَكِبَ الحِمارَ بِالأَسْوَاقِ ، و اعْتَقَلَ الشَّاةَ فَاحْتَلَبَها(السلسلة الصحيحة:2218)

Translation: “He who eats with his servant, rides a donkey in the market, and milks a goat is not arrogant.”

(9) It is very easy to blame servants because they are often the weaker segment of society, under the control of their masters. However, Islam has given strict orders regarding accusations against them. Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

مَن قَذَفَ مَمْلُوكَهُ، وَهو بَرِيءٌ ممَّا قالَ، جُلِدَ يَومَ القِيَامَةِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكونَ كما قالَ(صحيح البخاري:6858)

Translation: “Whoever accuses his servant of something, while the servant is innocent of what he said, will be flogged on the Day of Judgment, unless what he said is true.”

(10) One of the rights of servants is that you should give charity on their behalf. Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه narrates that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم commanded charity and said:

أمرَ النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللَّهُ علَيهِ وسلَّمَ بالصَّدقةِ ، فقالَ رجلٌ : يا رسولَ اللَّهِ ، عِندي دينارٌ ، فقالَ : تصدَّق بِهِ على نفسِكَ ، قالَ : عِندي آخرُ ، قالَ : تصدَّق بِهِ على ولدِكَ ، قالَ : عندي آخرُ ، قالَ : تصدَّق بِهِ على زوجتِكَ أو قالَ : زوجِكَ ، قالَ : عندي آخرُ ، قالَ : تصدَّق بِهِ على خادمِكَ ، قالَ : عندي آخرُ ، قالَ : أنتَ أبصَرُ(صحيح أبي داود:1691)

Translation: “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم commanded charity, and a man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have one dinar.’ He replied: ‘Give it in charity to yourself.’ The man said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Give it in charity to your children.’ The man said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Give it in charity to your wife.’ The man said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Give it in charity to your servant.’ The man said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘You know better where to give.'”

Another narration by Miqdad bin Ma’dikarib رضي الله عنه mentions that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

ما كسبَ الرَّجلُ كَسبًا أطيبُ من عملِ يدِه وما أنفقَ الرَّجلُ على نفسِه وأهلِه وولدِه وخادِمِه فهو صدَقةٌ(صحيح ابن ماجه:1752)

Translation: “A man earns no better earnings than that of his own labor, and whatever a man spends on himself, his family, his children, and his servant is charity.”

(11) Just as we should not curse our own children, we should not curse our servants either. Jabir bin Abdullah رضي الله عنهما said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

لا تَدعوا علَى أنفسِكُم ولا تَدعوا علَى أولادِكُم ولا تَدعوا علَى خدَمِكم ولا تَدعوا علَى أموالِكُم لا تُوافقوا منَ اللَّهِ تبارَك وتعالى ساعةَ نَيلٍ فيها عَطاءٌ فيَستجيبَ لَكُم(صحيح أبي داود:1532)

Translation: “Do not curse yourselves, your children, your servants, or your wealth, lest you utter a curse during a time when Allah’s decree is granted and He answers your prayer.”

Once, when Abd al-Malik bin Marwan cursed his servant for a minor delay, Umm Darda رضي الله عنها said: “I heard Abu Darda رضي الله عنه say that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ‘Those who curse often will neither be intercessors nor witnesses on the Day of Judgment.'” (صحیح مسلم :2598)

Translation: “The frequent cursers will not be intercessors nor witnesses on the Day of Judgment.”

(12) When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was leaving this world, His last advice was about treating servants kindly, highlighting their position and status in Islam. Ali رضي الله عنه says:

كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ.( صحيح أبي داود:5156)

Translation: “The last words of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم were: ‘The prayer, the prayer! And fear Allah regarding those whom your right hands possess.'”

These are just a few of the important rights of servants, all of which are based on the sayings of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Through these golden and pure rights, it is clear that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم treated his servants with the utmost respect, serving as an exemplary model for us all. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم not only spoke about these rights but also exemplified them through his actions, making his life the best model for us to follow. Before discussing the Prophet’s actions with his servants, I will first mention the names of his servants as mentioned in the book Zad al-Ma’ad by Imam Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله, without discussing the mention of slaves and maids, as the focus is on the servants. Among the Prophet’s servants were Anas bin Malik, Abdullah bin Mas’ud, Uqba bin Amir al-Juhani, Is’lah bin Sharik, Abu Dharr al-Ghafari, Ayman bin Ubaid, Umm Ayman, Bilal bin Rabah, and Sa’d. Other historians have mentioned other names, among which an important one, to which a Hadith will follow, is Rabi’ah bin Kabb Aslami.

Prophet’s treatment of his servants. 

(1) He cared for his servants so much that the one serving Him did not want to leave. An example of this is narrated by Zayd bin Harithah رضي الله عنه’s brother, Jubaylah bin Harithah رضي الله عنه, who says:

قَدِمْتُ على رسولِ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ علَيهِ وسلَّمَ فقُلتُ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ ابعَث معي أخي زيدًا قالَ: هوَ ذا، فإن انطلقَ معَكَ لم أمنَعهُ. قالَ زيدٌ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ، واللَّهِ لا أختارُ عليكَ أحدًا، قالَ: فرأيتُ رأيَ أخي أفضلَ مِن رأيي(صحيح الترمذي:3815)

Translation: “I came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Send my brother Zayd with me.’ He replied, ‘He is here. If he wants to go with you, I will not stop him.’ Zayd then said, ‘By Allah, I would not prefer anyone over you.’ Jubaylah said, ‘I saw that my brother’s opinion was better than mine.'” 

(2) The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم shared the food he ate with his servants. In Sahih Muslim, it is mentioned that whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was given a drink of Nabidh, He would also offer it to His servant. (Sahih Muslim: 2004)

(3) The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم never scolded or hit His servants. Umm al-Mu’minin A’isha رضي الله عنها says:

ما ضربَ رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، خادمًا، ولا امرأةً قطُّ.(صحيح أبي داود:4786)

Translation: “The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم never hit a servant or a woman.”

(4) The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would pray for his servants. Anas رضي الله عنه narrates:

قَالَتْ أُمِّي: يا رَسولَ اللَّهِ، خَادِمُكَ أنَسٌ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ له، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أكْثِرْ مَالَهُ، ووَلَدَهُ، وبَارِكْ له فِيما أعْطَيْتَهُ(صحیح البخاری:6344)

Translation: “My mother (Umm Sulaim رضي الله عنها) said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Anas is your servant, please pray for him.’ The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم made the following prayer: ‘O Allah! Increase his wealth, his children, and bless what You have given him.'”

(5) You used to take care of the needs of the servants and would often ask them about their requirements. A narration from the servant or maid of the Prophet (peace be upon him) states: “One of the things he used to say to the servant was: ‘Do you have any need?’ One day, the servant said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I have a need.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: ‘What is your need?’ The servant replied: ‘My need is that you intercede for me on the Day of Judgment.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: ‘Who guided you to this?’ The servant replied: ‘My Lord.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘Why not? Then help me by increasing your prostration.’ (Silsilat al-Sahihah: 2102)

It is amazing how the early servants did not think about worldly matters but rather focused on the Hereafter. They were fortunate enough to have the companionship of the Prophet ﷺ. This meaning is also found in another hadith:

 Hazrat Rabi’ah bin Ka’b (bin Malik) Al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him).: “I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), bringing him water for ablution and his other needs. One day he said to me: ‘Ask.’ I said: ‘I ask you for your companionship in Jannah.’ He said: ‘Is there anything else?’ I replied: ‘No, that is it.’ He said: ‘Then help me by increasing your prostration.'” (Sahih Muslim: 489)

Rabi’ah’s service to the Prophet ﷺ is an inspiring example, reflecting the love and devotion one should feel toward the Messenger ﷺ. Another hadith describes his service in more detail:

Hazrat Rabi’ah narrates: “I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and took care of his needs during the day, until the Prophet ﷺ performed the last part of the night prayer. Afterward, I would sit at his door, hoping that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ might have a need. I would hear him recite: ‘Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,’ until I became tired and returned, or I would fall asleep.” (Irawa al-Ghalil: 2/208, said by al-Albani to have a good chain)

(6) Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years, and he mentioned that during this time, the Prophet ﷺ never criticized him or questioned his actions. Anas himself narrates:

“After the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, he did not have any servant. Abu Talhah took my hand and brought me to the Prophet ﷺ, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah, Anas is a wise boy; let him serve you.’ I served him both in travel and at home. The Prophet ﷺ never said to me about anything I did: ‘Why did you do this?’ nor did he say: ‘Why did you not do this?'” (Sahih al-Bukhari: 2768)

The Prophet ﷺ was not just a leader and a guide to his companions but also a shining example of kindness and gentleness towards those in his service. Even when his servants made mistakes, he showed understanding and compassion.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:

“The Prophet ﷺ had the best character of all people. One day, he sent me on an errand. I said: ‘By Allah, I will not go,’ although in my heart, I intended to obey the Prophet ﷺ. As I was walking, I passed some children playing in the marketplace, and suddenly, I felt the Prophet ﷺ grab the back of my neck from behind. I looked at him, and he was smiling, and he said: ‘O Unays, did you go where I told you to go?’ I replied: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am going.'” (Sahih Muslim: 2310)

(7) Sometimes, the Prophet ﷺ would even visit his servants when they were sick. Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:

“There was a Jewish boy who served the Prophet ﷺ. One day, he fell ill. The Prophet ﷺ went to visit him and sat by his head. He said: ‘Embrace Islam.’ The boy looked at his father, who was also there, and his father said: ‘Obey Abul Qasim (the Prophet ﷺ).’ So the boy accepted Islam. When the Prophet ﷺ left, he said: ‘Praise be to Allah, who saved him from the Fire.'” (Sahih al-Bukhari: 1356)

(8) The Prophet ﷺ treated his servants with justice and kindness. Once, while he was at the house of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), a servant brought a dish from the house of Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her). In a fit of anger, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) struck the servant’s hand, causing the dish to break. The Prophet ﷺ personally collected the pieces of the dish and the food that had fallen. He sent for a new dish from the house where it had come from, and sent the broken dish back to that house, leaving it there.

(Sahih Bukhari: 5225)

(9) The Prophet ﷺ viewed all members of society, including servants, with great respect and dignity. He treated everyone with kindness and fairness, regardless of their social standing. Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:

“Whenever the Prophet ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer, the servants of Medina would come with their containers of water. Whenever any container was brought to him, he would dip his hand in it. Sometimes, even on cold mornings, they would bring the containers, and the Prophet ﷺ would still dip his hand into them.” (Sahih Muslim: 2324)

Translation: Whenever the Prophet ﷺ finished the Fajr prayer, the servants of Medina would come with their water containers. The Prophet ﷺ would dip his hand into whatever container was brought to him. On some cold mornings, even then, he would dip his hand into the containers.

Similarly, another narration from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) states:

“Even a maid from the people of Medina would take the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and walk him wherever she wanted.” (Sahih al-Bukhari: 6072)

Translation: Even a maid from Medina would take the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and lead him wherever she wished.

The underlying message of the above stories is that servants are part of society and deserve respect and honor, just like any other member of the community. Islam has given servants high status and clear rights, and the Prophet ﷺ set the best example of treating them well. The true character of a person is revealed when they treat those under their authority with kindness. When those in subservient positions speak highly of their leaders, it reflects the noble character of the leader. The Prophet ﷺ was the epitome of high moral standards, and his treatment of his servants exemplifies this. We should all reflect on our treatment of those under our authority, ensuring that our actions align with the noble example of the Prophet ﷺ. We should treat all people with kindness, including family members, relatives, neighbors, the poor, the sick, and even non-Muslims, so that our conduct may inspire others towards Islam.
