900 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَضْرِبُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ» ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ ذَئِرْنَ النِّسَاءُ عَلَي أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ مُذْ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ ضَرْبِهِنَّ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، فَضَرَبُوا، فَأَطَافَ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ أَطَافَ اللَّيْلَةَ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ سَبْعُونَ امْرَأَةً كُلُّهُنَّ تَشْتَكِي زَوْجَهَا، وَلَا تَجِدُونَ أُولَئِكَ خِيَارَكُمْ»
Sayyiduna Iyas bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not beat Allah’s maidservants (i.e., women)." The narrator states: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Since you have forbidden beating them, women have become bold towards their husbands. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the people (to discipline them). People started beating them, and then many women came to the wives of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night, seventy women came to the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). All of them complained about their husbands. You will not find those people (who beat their wives) to be the best among you." (i.e., a person who beats his wife is not good)
