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.

Arabic text

١٩٤٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُؤَمَّلٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ مَمْلُوكًا لِي»، فَسَمِعْتُ قَائِلًا مِنْ خَلْفِي يَقُولُ: اعْلَمْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، اعْلَمْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: لَلَّهُ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ: فَمَا ضَرَبْتُ مَمْلُوكًا لِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ التَّيْمِيُّ هُوَ: إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ.

Commentary

If you find a person who truly believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then the best way to make him desist from wrongful actions is to remind him of Allāh’s reckoning and retribution on the Day of Judgment.
