بَابُ جَوَازِ ضَرْبِ الْمَمْلُوكِ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَنْبِهِ وَالتَّشْدِيدِ فِيمَا زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَChapter on the Permissibility of Beating a Slave According to His Sin and the Severity of Exceeding That

عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ دَعَا غُلَامًا لَهُ فَأَعْتَقَهُ فَقَالَ مَا لِي مِنْ أَجْرِهِ مِثْلُ هَذَا لِشَيْءٍ رَفَعَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَطَمَ غُلَامَهُ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ عِتْقُهُ
Zadhan says that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called one of his slaves and set him free, and while picking up something from the ground and pointing towards it, he said: In this act, there is not even as much reward for me, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever slaps his slave, its expiation is that he should set him free.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The wording of the narration in Sahih Muslim is as follows: The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ((Whoever strikes his slave with a punishment (hadd) which he does not deserve, or slaps him, then its expiation is that he should set him free.)) … Whoever imposes a legal punishment (hadd) upon his slave which he was not deserving of, or slaps him, then its expiation is that he should set him free.
