English translation

5163. It was narrated from Al-Hārith bin Rāfi' bin Makīth - and Rāfi' was from Juhainah and had been present at Al-Hudaibiyah with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ - that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Treating those who are under one's control well brings blessing, and bad character results in bad consequences." (Da'if) 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 Allāh ﷺ ordered us to set her free.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

5163 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ زُفَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ مَكِيثٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ بْنِ مَكِيثٍ، وَكَانَ رَافِعٌ، مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَدْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «حُسْنُ الْمَلَكَةِ يُمْنٌ، وَسُوءُ الْخُلُقِ شُؤْمٌ»
