Do the verses ("Allah presents an example: a slave owned who has no power over anything...") and ("Allah presents an example of two men: one is mute and has no power over anything..."), as well as the Hadith ("Indeed, the example of a righteous companion and an evil companion is like that of the musk bearer and the blacksmith's bellows"), include social disparagement or belittlement of the poor, owned slave, the mute man, and the blacksmith?

Professions such as garbage collection, cupping (hijama), and working in sewers do not contradict Islam. These are permissible professions that do not diminish the standing of those who practice them, as long as they earn a lawful livelihood. They are considered essential for society, and the state should encourage those who work in them.

As for the Quranic verses in Surat An-Nahl (16:75-76), they present parables for the ignorance and corruption of the minds of the polytheists who equated Allah Almighty with their helpless deities. The intent is not to disparage the enslaved person.

Regarding the hadith (definition) (The similitude of a good companion and a bad companion), its purpose is to provide an example of the state of a companion. A bad companion is likened to the blower of a blacksmith’s bellows, whose proximity is never free from harm, whereas a good companion is like the bearer of musk, from whom a pleasant fragrance emanates. The hadith does not imply belittling the profession of a blacksmith or any other profession.
