English translation
1948. Abū Mas'ūd [Al-Anṣārī] said: "I was beating a slave of mine and I heard someone behind me saying: 'Beware O Abū Mas'ūd! Beware O Abū Mas'ūd!' So I turned around and saw that it was the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He said: 'Allāh has more power over you than you do over him.'" Abū Mas'ūd said: "I have not beaten any slave of mine since then.”(Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Ibrāhīm At-Taimī (a narrator in the chain) is Ibrāhīm bin Yazīd bin Sharīk.
