narrated from IbrâhIm At-TaimI that his father said: 'Abü Mas'üd A]-BadrI said: "I was beating a slave of mine with a whip when I heard a voice behind me (saying): 'You should realize, Abü Mas'üd!' But I did not understand the voice because I was so angry. When he came close to me, I saw that it was The Book Of Oaths 411 the Messenger of Allah and he was saying: 'You should realize, Abü Mas'üd! 'You should realize, Abü Mas'fld!' I threw down the whip that was in my hand and he said: 'You should realize, Abü Mas'üd, that Allah has more power over you than you have over this slave.' I said: 'I will never beat a slave again after this."

34 - (1659) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيُّ: كُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ غُلَامًا لِي بِالسَّوْطِ، فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنْ خَلْفِي، «اعْلَمْ، أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ»، فَلَمْ أَفْهَمِ الصَّوْتَ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنِّي إِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ: «اعْلَمْ، أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، اعْلَمْ، أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ»، قَالَ: فَأَلْقَيْتُ السَّوْطَ مِنْ يَدِي، فَقَالَ: «اعْلَمْ، أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ اللهَ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَى هَذَا الْغُلَامِ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَضْرِبُ مَمْلُوكًا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا،
