Not overburdening those under one's authority

The Prophet (SAW) said: "They are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority... do not burden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do, then help them."

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA)

Explanation

Authority over others carries the responsibility to set reasonable expectations, not to exploit one's position.
