حَدِيثُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، ٢٣٧٤٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: اقْتَصَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَعْتِقُوهَا " فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ: " لِتَخْدُمَنَّهُمْ، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا عَنْهَا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Suwaid bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man slapped a slave girl belonging to the family of Suwaid. Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Do you not know that it is forbidden to strike the face? We were seven brothers and had only one servant. One of us once slapped her, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to set her free. The brothers said, 'We have no other servant besides her.' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Then continue to take service from her, and when you no longer need her, set her free.'"
