English translation

5167. It was narrated from Mu'āwiyyah bin Suwaid bin Muqarrin who said: "I slapped a freed slave of ours, and my father called him and I, and he said: 'Take your revenge on him. We, the sons of Muqarrin were seven at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and we had only one servant. One of us slapped her, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Set her free." They said: "We have no servant but her." He said: "Then let her serve you until you have no need of her, and when you have no need of her set her free." (Sahih)

Arabic text

5167 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، قَالَ: لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا فَدَعَاهُ أَبِي وَدَعَانِي، فَقَالَ: اقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ كُنَّا سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ، فَلَطَمَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْتِقُوهَا» قَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا، قَالَ: «فَلْتَخْدُمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا»
