THE ONE WHO SLAPS HIS SLAVE SHOULD FREE HIM ALTHOUGH HE IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO! Imaam Bukhaari rahimahullah Chapter 93: 176. Hilaal b. Yasaaf said: We used to sell linen in the house of Suwayd b. Muqarrin. A slave girl came out and said something to one of the men and that man slapped her. Suwayd b. Muqarrin said to 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 (صلي الله عليه وسلم) ordered him to set her free. 177. Ibn Umar said: I heard the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) say, The expiation for someone who slaps his slave, or beats him when he did not make any mistake, is to set him free. 178. Muaawiya b. Muqarrin said: I slapped a mawlaa of mine and he fled. Then my father called me and told the slave, Avenge yourself. We, the sons of Muqarrin, were seven and we had one servant. When one of us slapped her, it was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) who said, Order them to set her free. When the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) was told, She is the only servant they have, he said, Then let them engage her and when they can spare her, let her go on her way. 179. Abu Shuba said: Suwayd b. Muqarrin al-Muzni, on seeing a man strike his slave on his face, said, Dont you know that the face is forbidden? In the time of the Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) we were seven brothers and we only had one servant. Then one of us slapped him and the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) commanded that we set him free. 180. Abu Umar Zadhaan said: We were with Ibn Umar and he summoned a slave of his whom he had beaten and uncovered his back. He said, Does it hurt? The other said, No. Then Ibn Umar set him free. Then he picked up a stick from the ground and said, I do not have a reward which weighs as much as this stick. I asked him, Abu Abdur-Rahmaan, why do you say this? He said, I heard the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) say, The expiation of someone who beats a slave more than he deserves or slaps his face, is that he should set him free. Source: AL-ADAB AL-MUFRAD.
