3282. It was narrated that Mu'āwiyah bin Al-Ḥakam Al-Sulamī said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I slapped a slave-girl of mine.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ rebuked me sternly for that. I said: 'Shall I set her free?' He said: 'Bring her here.' So I brought her, and he said: 'Where is Allāh?'" She said: 'Above the heaven.' He said: 'Who am I?' She said: 'You are the Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Set her free, for she is a believer.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
