حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا فَهَرَبْتُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ قُبَيْلَ الظُّهْرِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي، فَدَعَاهُ وَدَعَانِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: امْتَثِلْ مِنْهُ، فَعَفَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْتِقُوهَا»، قَالُوا: لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا، قَالَ:فَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوهَا، فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا عَنْهَا، فَلْيُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا.

I slapped a slave belonging to us and then fled away. I came back just before noon and offered prayer behind my father. He called him (the slave) and me and said: Do as he has done to you. He granted pardon. He (my father) then said: We belonged to the family of Muqarrin during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him. and had only one slave-girl and one of us slapped her. This news reached Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and he said: Set her free. They (the members of the family) said: There is no other servant except she. Thereupon he said: Then employ her and when you can afford to dispense with her services, then set her free.
