1983. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Zam'ah said: "The Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon then he made mention of women, and exhorted (the men) concerning them. Then he said: 'How long will one of you whip his wife like a slave, then lie with her at the end of the day?'" (Sahih)
1983 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ النِّسَاءَ، فَوَعَظَهُمْ فِيهِنَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِلَامَ يَجْلِدُ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَتَهُ جَلْدَ الْأَمَةِ؟ وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُضَاجِعَهَا مِنْ آخِرِ يَوْمِهِ»

The rebuke to women for a mistake is necessary but it should be only verbal; if she is very careless and defiantly disobedient, then the husband should get angry; this punishment is enough. Physical light punishment is allowed only at a certain stage when there is no alternative.
