Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #201
Being a master
Abu Mahdhura said, "I was sitting with 'Umar when Safwan ibn Umayya
brought him a bowl which some people were carrying in a robe. They set
it down in front of 'Umar. 'Umar then invited some poor people and some
slaves belonging to the people around him and they ate with him. Then he
aid, 'Allah will do a people - or else he said, 'Allah will curse a
people' - who dislike having their slaves eat with them.' Safwan said,
'By Allah, we do not dislike them, but we prefer ourselves to them, and
by Allah, we do not find good food which we can eat and feed it to them
as well.'"
