بَابُ عِقَابِ مَنْ مَثَلَ بِعَبْدِهِ أَوْ رَمَاءَ بِالزَّنَا وهو برىءChapter on the Punishment of One Who Mutilates His Slave or Accuses Him of Adultery While He Is Innocent
Hadith 5246
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي خَادِمًا يُسِيءُ وَيَظْلِمُ أَفَأَضْرِبُهُ قَالَ تَعْفُو عَنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a slave who behaves indecently, commits mistakes, and acts unjustly. Can I punish him? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Forgive him seventy times a day.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is not obligatory to pardon a slave for his wrongful action; nevertheless, even in such a situation, pardoning him would be in accordance with the demands of noble character.
