What has come in Reference to Slaves — Hadith 3

3. Faḍālah narrated from Abān ibn ʿUthmān, from Ziyād ibn Abī Rajāʾ, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a); and from Abū Sakhl, from Salmān who said, “I was once sitting in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) when a man came to him and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, [what do you say about] the slave? ’ So the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘He has been tested by you and you have been tested by him, so that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, may see how grateful you are and how patient he is. ’”
