حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ ، قَالَ : " لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا ، فَدَعَاهُ أَبِي وَدَعَانِي ، فَقَالَ : اقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ ، فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ كُنَّا سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ ، فَلَطَمَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَعْتِقُوهَا , قَالُوا : إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا ، قَالَ : فَلْتَخْدُمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا ، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا " .
Narrated Muawiyah ibn Suwayd ibn Muqarrin: I slapped a freed slave of ours. My father called him and me and said: Take retaliation on him. We, the people of Banu Muqarrin, were seven during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and we had only a female servant. A man of us slapped her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Set her free. They said: We have no other servant than her. He said: She must serve them till they become well off. When they become well off, they should set her free.

Explanation & Benefits
Muslim — Hadith 4301
Mu'awiyah bin Suwaid reported: I slapped a slave belonging to us and then fled away. I came back just before noon and offered prayer behind my father. He called him (the slave) and me and said: Do as he has done to you. He granted pardon. He (my father) then said: We belonged to the family of Muqarrin during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him, and had only one slave-girl and one of us slapped her. This news reached Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he said: Set her free. They (the members of the family) said: There is no other servant except she. Thereupon he said: Then employ her and when you can afford to dispense with her services, then set her free.
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This was the noble character of the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) that, merely for having slapped someone, they said to their slave, "Do to me as I did to you." Even though, in such situations, mere reprimand and admonition would have sufficed. And the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also taught the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) a lesson: that they should not treat them (slaves) with oppression and excess, nor resort to beating without reason. And if they do so, then they should set the slave free, so that such an act is not repeated with any other slave.

Abu Dawud — Hadith 5166
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.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Striking the face is strictly prohibited.
And the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has forbidden this.
His (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) noble statement is:
(“If one of you fights his brother, let him avoid the face.”) (Sahih Muslim, Al-Birr wa al-Silah, Hadith: 2612)
When any of you has a fight with his (Muslim) brother, he should avoid (striking) his face.
Even the face of an animal should not be struck.
