حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَأَبِي فِي الظُّهْرِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ (١) مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَقَالَ: امْتَثِلْ (٢) مِنْهُ فَعَفَا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا وَلَدَ مُقَرِّنٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَةً، لَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " أَعْتِقُوهَا " فَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا، قَالَ: " فَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوهَا فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Suwaid bin Muqarrin that a man slapped a slave girl belonging to the family of Suwaid. 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 (ﷺ) ordered us to set her free." The brothers said, "We have no other servant besides her." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then continue to take service from her, and when you become independent of her, set her free."
