وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ : " أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ دَعَا بِغُلَامٍ لَهُ ، فَرَأَى بِظَهْرِهِ أَثَرًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَوْجَعْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَأَنْتَ عَتِيقٌ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا لِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مَا يَزِنُ هَذَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ ضَرَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ حَدًّا لَمْ يَأْتِهِ أَوْ لَطَمَهُ فَإِنَّ كَفَّارَتَهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ " ،
Zadhan reported that Ibn 'Umar (RA) called his slave and he found the marks (of beating) upon his back. He said to him: I have caused you pain. He said: No. But he ( Ibn 'Umar (RA) ) said: You are free. He then took hold of something from the earth and said: There is no reward for me even to the weight equal to it. I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who beats a slave without cognizable offence of his or slaps him (without any serious fault), then expiation for it is that he should set him free.
