بَابُ مَنْ لَطَمَ عَبْدَهُ فَلْيُعْتِقْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِيجَابٍChapter: Whoever Slaps His Slave Should Free Him Without Obligation
Hadith 176
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هِلاَلَ بْنَ يَسَافٍ يَقُولُ: كُنَّا نَبِيعُ الْبَزَّ فِي دَارِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، فَخَرَجَتْ جَارِيَةٌ فَقَالَتْ لِرَجُلٍ شَيْئًا، فَلَطَمَهَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ مُقَرِّنٍ: أَلَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهَا؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ وَمَا لَنَا إِلاَّ خَادِمٌ، فَلَطَمَهَا بَعْضُنَا، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعْتِقُهَا.
It is narrated from Bilal bin Yasaf (may Allah have mercy on him) that we were selling cloth in the house of Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) when a slave girl came out and said something to a man, so the man slapped her. Upon this, Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Did you slap her on the face? Indeed, I was the seventh among seven (brothers), and we had only one servant girl. When one of us slapped her, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered him to set her free."
