بَابُ أَدَبِ الْخَادِمِChapter: The Manners of the Servant
Hadith 171
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ غُلاَمًا لِي، فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ خَلْفِي صَوْتًا: ”اعْلَمْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، لَلَّهُ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْهِ“، فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَهُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: ”أَمَا لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ لَمَسَّتْكَ النَّارُ أَوْ لَلَفَحَتْكَ النَّارُ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Uqbah bin ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): I was beating my slave when suddenly I heard a voice from behind me: “Abu Mas’ud! Know that Allah has more power over you than you have over him.” I turned around and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: O Messenger of Allah! I set him free for the sake of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If you had not done so, the fire of Hell would certainly have touched you.” Or he said: “The fire would certainly have engulfed you.”
