حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نُزُولًا فِي دَارِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ وَفِينَا شَيْخٌ فِيهِ حِدَّةٌ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ ، فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهَا ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ سُوَيْدًا أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ ، قَالَ : عَجَزَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا حُرُّ وَجْهِهَا ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ مُقَرِّنٍ ، وَمَا لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ ، فَلَطَمَ أَصْغَرُنَا وَجْهَهَا ، فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعِتْقِهَا " .
Hilal bin Yasaf said: We were staying in the house of Suwaid bin Muqarrin. There was among us an old man who was hot-tempered. He had a slave-girl with him. He gave a slap on her face. I never saw Suwaid more angry than on that day. He said: there is no alternative for you except to free her. I was the seventh child in order of Muqarrin and we had only a female servant. The youngest of us gave a slap on her face. The prophet ﷺ commanded us to set her free.
