The last advice of the Holy Prophet ﷺ Part 7. English translation of a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB  

In a Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ said;  

“Your employees are your brothers. Allah Ta’ala has made them your subordinates. Give them to eat the same food that you eat yourselves, and give them to wear what you wear yourselves.”  

It is narrated in a Hadith that once the Holy Prophet ﷺ passed Hazrat Abu Masud on his way. He was being angry with his slave and telling him off. It looked as if he was close to hitting him. Upon seeing this the Holy Prophet ﷺ said;  

“Allah Ta’ala has more power over you than you have over this slave.”
