Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، قَالَ: لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا، فَدَعَاهُ أَبِي وَدَعَانِي، فَقَالَ: اقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ كُنَّا سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ، فَلَطَمَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَعْتِقُوهَا، قَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا، قَالَ: فَلْتَخْدُمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا .

I slapped a freed slave of ours. My father called him and me and said: Take retaliation on him. We, the people of Banu Muqarrin, were seven during the time of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and we had only a female servant. A man of us slapped her. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Set her free. They said: We have no other servant than her. He said: She must serve them till they become well off. When they become well off, they should set her free.
