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.
