English translation

5166. It was narrated that Hiläl bin Yasäf said: "We were staying in the house of Suwaid bin Muqarrin, and among us there was an old man who was hot-tempered and he had a slave girl with him, whose face he had slapped. I never saw Suwaid angrier than he was on that day. He said: 'Couldn't you find anything other than her face to hit? I remember when I was the seventh of the seven sons of Muqarrin, and we had only one servant. The youngest of us slapped her face, and the Messenger of Allah ordered us to set her free." (Sahih)

Arabic text

5166 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُزُولًا فِي دَارِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ وَفِينَا شَيْخٌ فِيهِ حِدَّةٌ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ، فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهَا؟ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ سُوَيْدًا أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: عَجَزَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا حُرُّ وَجْهِهَا؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ مُقَرِّنٍ، وَمَا لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ، فَلَطَمَ أَصْغَرُنَا وَجْهَهَا، «فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعِتْقِهَا»
