It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent one of his maidservants on an errand, and she was late in coming back, at which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Were it not for fear of retribution (qisas, on the Day of Resurrection), I would surely have struck you (hurt you) with this tooth-stick (miswak)."
Imam Abu Ya'la also narrated the same through his chain via Waki'.
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in my house, and there was a tooth-stick (miswak) in his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a maidservant, his or (the lady's) (but she was slow to come), until signs of anger began to appear on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face. So Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) went out to the neighbours and found the maidservant there, busy playing (among the children). She said to her: "Do I not see you playing with this young lamb while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is calling you?" She replied: "No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not hear you (peace and blessings be upon him) calling." Then the narrator mentioned the incident stated above (about striking with the miswak).
