CHAPTER: Regarding One Who Buys Slave And Employs Him, Then Finds A Fault In Him.
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Profit follows responsibility.
Narrated Makhlad ibn Khufaf al-Ghifari: I and some people were partners in a slave. I employed him on some work in the absence of one of the partners. He got earnings for me. He disputed me and the case of his claim to his share in the earnings to a judge, who ordered me to return the earnings (i. e. his share) to him. I then came to Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, and related the matter to him. Urwah then came to him and narrated to him a tradition from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم on the authority of Aishah: Profit follows responsibility.
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A man bought a slave, and he remained with him as long as Allah wished him to remain. He then found defect in him. He brought his dispute with him to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he returned him to him. The man said: Messenger of Allah, my slave earned some wages. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: Profit follows responsibility. Abu Dawud said: This chain of narrators (of this version) is not reliable.
