Umayr, the freed slave of Abu Al-Lahm (may Allah be pleased with him), reported: My master ordered me to prepare some dried meat. A poor man came to me, and I fed him some of it. When my master found out, he beat me. I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and mentioned this to him. He called my master and said, "Why did you beat him?" He replied, "He gave away my food without my permission." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The reward is shared between you." In another narration, he said, "I was a slave, so I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), 'Can I give charity from my master's wealth?' He said, 'Yes, and the reward is shared between you.'"

کے مال میں ہر قسم کا تصرف کر سکتا ہے بلکہ غلام کو مارنے سے منع فرمانے کا مقصد یہ تھا کہ مالک کو اس بات کی تسلی دی جائے کہ اس قسم کی خیرات سے دونوں کو ثواب ملتا ہے اور اس ثواب کو جو غلام کی خیرات سے مالک کو مل رہا ہے غنیمت سمجھنا چاہئے)(جیسا کہ اشعۃ اللمعات میں مذکور ہے۔12)
