English translation
[4309] 36 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Mas'ûd that he was beating a slave of his, and he (the slave) started saying: "I seek refuge in Allâh." He carried on beating him, so he said: "I seek refuge in the Messenger of Allâh, and he stopped beating him." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "By Allâh, Allâh has more power over you than you have over him." Then he set him free.
