Suwaid bin Muqarrin reported that he had a slave-girl and a person (one of the members of the family) slapped her, whereupon Suwaid said to him: Don't you know that it is forbidden to strike the face. He said: You see I was the seventh one amongst my brothers during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and we had but only one servant. One of us got enraged and slapped him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded us to set him free.
