وعن هشام بن حكيم بن حزام رضي الله عنه أنه مر بالشام على أناس من الأنباط، وقد أقيموا في الشمس، وصُب على رءوسهم الزيت فقال: ما هذا؟ يُعذبون في الخراج وفي رواية: حُبسوا في الجزية. فقال هشام: أشهد لسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "إن الله يعذب الذين يعذبون الناس في الدنيا" فدخل على الأمير، فحدثه، فأمر بهم فخلوا" ((رواه مسلم. "الأنباط" الفلاحون من العجم)).
Narrated It has been narrated that Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam (May Allah be pleased with them) happened to pass by some (non-Arab) farmers of Syria who had been made to stand in the sun, and olive oil was poured on their heads. He said:
"What is the matter?" He was told that they had been detained for the non-payment of Jizyah. (Another narration says that they were being tortured for not having paid Al-Kharaj). Thereupon Hisham said: "I bear testimony to the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, 'Allah will torment those who torment people in the world."' Then he proceeded towards their Amir and reported this Hadith to him. The Amir then issued orders for their release..
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
"من ضرب غلامًا له حدًا لم يأتهِ، أو لطمه، فإن كفارته أن يعتقه" ((رواه مسلم)).
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The expiation for beating or slapping a slave on the face for something he has not done is to set him free.".
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حمارًا موسوم الوجه، فأنكر ذلك؟ فقال: والله لا أسمه إلا أقصى شيء من الوجه، وأمر بحماره، فكوي في جاعرتيه، فهو أول من كوى الجاعرتين. ((رواه مسلم)).((الجاعرتان)): ناحية الوركين حول الدبر.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw an ass which had been branded on the face. He disapproved of it. Upon this Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said, "By Allah, I shall not brand (the animal) but on a part at a distance from the face." Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) then commanded branding on the hips; he was the first person to brand the animals on hips..
وعن أبي مسعود البدري رضي الله عنه قال: "كنتُ أضرب غلامًا لي بالوسط، فسمعت صوتًا من خلفي: "اعلم أبا مسعود" فلم أفهم الصوت من الغضب، فلما دنا مني إذا هو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فإذا هو يقول: "اعلم أبا مسعود أن الله أقدرُ عليك منك على هذا الغلام" فقلت: لا أضرب مملوكًا بعده أبدًا.
((وفي رواية: فسقط السوط من يدي من هيبته))
((وفي رواية: فقلت: يارسول الله هو حر لوجه الله تعالى، فقال: "أما لو لم تفعل، للفحتك النار، أو لمستك النار" ((رواه مسلم بهذه الروايات)).
Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
I was beating my slave with a whip when I heard a voice behind me which said: "Abu Mas'ud! Bear in mind..." I did not recognize the voice for the intense anger I was in. Abu Mas'ud added: As he came near me, I found that he was the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who was saying, "Abu Mas'ud! Bear in mind that Allah has more dominance upon you than you have upon your slave." Then I said: "I will never beat any slave in future."Another narration is: The whip dropped from my hand in awe of the Prophet (ﷺ).Still another narration is: I said: "He is free for the sake of Allah." He (ﷺ) said, "If you had not done this, you would have been scorched by the Fire.".
