حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ بِطَعَامِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يُجْلِسْهُ مَعَهُ، فَلْيُنَاوِلْهُ لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ أَوْ أُكْلَةً أَوْ أُكْلَتَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُ وَلِيَ عِلَاجَهُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When your servant brings your meals to you then if he does not let him sit and share the meals, then he should at least give him a mouthful or two mouthfuls of that meal or a meal or two meals, as he has prepared it.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, তোমাদের কারো খাদিম খাবার নিয়ে হাযির হলে তাকেও নিজের সাথে বসানো উচিত। তাকে সাথে না বসালেও দু’ এক লোকমা কিংবা দু’ এক গ্রাস তাকে দেয়া উচিত। কেননা, সে এর জন্য পরিশ্রম করেছে। (৫৪৬০)

ہم سے حجاج بن منہال نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، کہا مجھے محمد بن زیاد نے خبر دی، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا اور انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے کہ جب کسی کا غلام کھانا لائے اور وہ اسے اپنے ساتھ ( کھلانے کے لیے ) نہ بٹھا سکے تو اسے ایک یا دو نوالے ضرور کھلا دے یا آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے «لقمة أو لقمتين» کے بدل «أكلة أو أكلتين» فرمایا ( یعنی ایک یا دو لقمے ) کیونکہ اسی نے اس کو تیار کرنے کی تکلیف اٹھائی ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hajjaj bin Minhal] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Muhammad bin Ziyad] aku mendengar [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam: "Jika seorang dari kalian didatangi pembantunya dengan membawa makanan, lantas dia tidak mengajaknya duduk makan bersamanya, hendaklah dia berikan kepadanya satu suap atau dua suap atau satu makanan atau dua makanan, karena dia yang mendapatkan panasnya (ketika memasak) dan disebabkan dia pula makanan bisa dihidangkan

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'den rivayet edilmiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Hizmetçiniz size yemeğinizi getirdiğinde onu sizinle birlikte sofraya oturtmayacaksanız, hiç olmazsa ona bir iki lokma verin. Bu onu memnun eder" buyurmuştur. Tekrar:

Sahih al-Bukhari 2557, Book 49, Manumission of Slaves, Hadith 39. 1 min read

What it means

This Hadīth encourages good conduct and generosity with slaves and servants who prepare one's food and serve it. The master should feed his servant from that food as he (the servant) made effort to cook and serve that food. It is unfit for a generous and magnanimous person to deprive his servant from the food he has prepared and served; rather, he should give him some of it to satisfy his longing and ward off his possible resentment if he is not given from it.
