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.
