1950. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When one of you beats his servant then he (should) remember Allāh and, withhold your hands." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] Abū Hārūn Al-'Abdī's (a narrator in the chain) name is Ummārah bin Juwain. [He said: Abū Bakr Al-'Aṭṭār said: "Ali bin Al-Madīnī said:]" Yahya bin Sa'eed said: 'Shu'bah graded Abū Hārūn Al-'Abdī weak.' Yahya said: 'Ibn 'Awn continued reporting from Abū Hurairah until he died.'"]
١٩٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا ضَرَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ خَادِمَهُ» فَذَكَرَ اللهَ فَارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَبُو هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ: عُمَارَةُ بْنُ جُوَيْنٍ. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْعَطَّارُ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ ابْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ: قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ: ضَعَّفَ شُعْبَةُ أَبَا هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيَّ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَمَا زَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ حَتَّى مَاتَ.

The text of the Hadith has been interpreted in two ways: (i) that the master himself is instantly reminded of Allāh and, consequently, restrains his hand, and (ii) the servant receiving the beating reminds the master of Allāh, and he stops beating him. Anyway, it is by no means allowed to mishandle or beat the servant out of revengeful motives.
