Halakhah for Berakhot 2:7

וּכְשֶׁמֵּת טָבִי עַבְדּוֹ, קִבֵּל עָלָיו תַּנְחוּמִין. אָמְרוּ לוֹ תַּלְמִידָיו, לֹא לִמַּדְתָּנוּ רַבֵּנוּ, שֶׁאֵין מְקַבְּלִין תַּנְחוּמִין עַל הָעֲבָדִים. אָמַר לָהֶם, אֵין טָבִי עַבְדִּי כִּשְׁאָר כָּל הָעֲבָדִים, כָּשֵׁר הָיָה:

And when Tevi, his bondsman, died, he accepted condolences for him, at which his disciples said to him: "Did our master not teach us that it is forbidden to accept condolences for bondsmen?" He answered: "Tevi, my bondsman, was not like other bondsmen; he was a man of integrity."
