حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، قَالَ : عَجِلَ شَيْخٌ فَلَطَمَ خَادِمًا لَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ مُقَرِّنٍ : " عَجَزَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا حُرُّ وَجْهِهَا ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ ، مَا لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ لَطَمَهَا أَصْغَرُنَا ، فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُعْتِقَهَا " ،
Hilal bin Yasaf reported that a person got angry and slapped his slave-girl. Thereupon Suwaid bin Muqarrin said to him: You could find no other part (to slap) but the prominent part of her face. See I was one of the seven sons of Muqarrin, and we had but only one slave-girl. The youngest of us slapped her, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded us to set her free. 2097

Explanation & Benefits
Muslim — Hadith 4301
Mu'awiyah bin Suwaid reported: I slapped a slave belonging to us and then fled away. I came back just before noon and offered prayer behind my father. He called him (the slave) and me and said: Do as he has done to you. He granted pardon. He (my father) then said: We belonged to the family of Muqarrin during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him, and had only one slave-girl and one of us slapped her. This news reached Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he said: Set her free. They (the members of the family) said: There is no other servant except she. Thereupon he said: Then employ her and when you can afford to dispense with her services, then set her free.
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This was the noble character of the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) that, merely for having slapped someone, they said to their slave, "Do to me as I did to you." Even though, in such situations, mere reprimand and admonition would have sufficed. And the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also taught the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) a lesson: that they should not treat them (slaves) with oppression and excess, nor resort to beating without reason. And if they do so, then they should set the slave free, so that such an act is not repeated with any other slave.

Abu Dawud — Hadith 5166
Hilal bin Yasaf said: We were staying in the house of Suwaid bin Muqarrin. There was among us an old man who was hot-tempered. He had a slave-girl with him. He gave a slap on her face. I never saw Suwaid more angry than on that day. He said: there is no alternative for you except to free her. I was the seventh child in order of Muqarrin and we had only a female servant. The youngest of us gave a slap on her face. The prophet ﷺ commanded us to set her free.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Striking the face is strictly prohibited.
And the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has forbidden this.
His (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) noble statement is:
(“If one of you fights his brother, let him avoid the face.”) (Sahih Muslim, Al-Birr wa al-Silah, Hadith: 2612)
When any of you has a fight with his (Muslim) brother, he should avoid (striking) his face.
Even the face of an animal should not be struck.
