(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ , قَالَ : لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَأَبِي فِي الظُّهْرِ ، فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي ، فَقَالَ : امتثل مِنْهُ , فَعَفَا ، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ , قَالَ : كُنَّا وَلَدَ مُقَرِّنٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَةً لَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ، فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَعْتِقُوهَا " , فَقَالُوا : لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا ، قَالَ : " ، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Muqarrin that a man slapped a slave girl belonging to the family of Suwaid. Sayyiduna Suwaid said to him, "Do you not know that it is forbidden to strike the face? We were seven brothers and had only one servant among us. One of us once slapped her, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to set her free." The brothers said, "We have no other servant besides her." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then continue to take service from her, and when you become independent of her, set her free."
