Hilal ibn Yasaf said, "We used to sell linen in the house of Suwayd
ibn Muqarrin. A slavegirl came out and said something to one of the men
and that man slapped her. Suwayd ibn Muqarrin asked him, 'Did you slap
her face? We were seven and we only had a single servant. Then one of us
slapped her and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered
him to set her free.'"
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِدَابَّةٍ قَدْ وُسِمَ يُدَخِّنُ مَنْخِرَاهُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا، لاَ يَسِمَنَّ أَحَدٌ الْوَجْهَ وَلاَ يَضْرِبَنَّهُ.
Jabir said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
passed by an animal which had been branded and its nostrils were smoking.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah curses
any person who does this. No one should mark the face nor strike it.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: مَنْ لَطَمَ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ حَدًّا لَمْ يَأْتِهِ، فَكَفَّارَتُهُ عِتْقُهُ.
Ibn 'Umar said, "I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, 'The expiation for someone who slaps his slave or beats
him more than he deserves is to set him free.'"
