Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَرِقَّاءَكُمْ أَرِقَّاءَكُمْ أَرِقَّاءَكُمْ أَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَاكْسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ فَإِنْ جَاءُوا بِذَنْبٍ لَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَغْفِرُوهُ فَبِيعُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوهُمْ.
English Translation
He said: Abd al-Rahman told us: Sufyan told us, from Asim, meaning Ibn Ubaydullah, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said in the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Your slaves, your slaves, your slaves! Feed them from what you eat, and clothe them from what you wear. If they commit an offense that you do not wish to forgive, then sell them - they are servants of Allah - and do not torment them."
