١٣۔ أحاديث رجال من أصحاب النبي ﷺ
[Machine] We, the people of the Banu Muqarrin, were seven individuals and we had only one servant. One of us slapped her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Free her." It was said to him, "They have no other servant except her." He said, "Let them serve themselves, and when they can do without her, then free her."
كُنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعْتِقُوهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لِتَخْدُمَنَّهُمْ فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا عَنْهَا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا
[Machine] We used to sell wool at the house of Suwaid ibn Muqarrin. One day, a young girl went out to Suwaid and spoke to one of us, insulting him. He slapped her in the face. Suwaid then said, "You have slapped her, but I have seen myself as one of the seven sons of my family. We only have a servant." One of us then mentioned this incident to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he ordered us to free her.
كُنَّا نَبِيعُ الْبَزَّ فِي دَارِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ جَارِيَةٌ لِسُوَيْدٍ فَكَلَّمَتْ رَجُلًا مِنَّا فَسَبَّتْهُفَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهَا فَقَالَ سُوَيْدٌ لَطَمْتَهَا لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي لَسَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ إِخْوَتِي مَا لَنَا إِلَّا خَادِمٌ فَعَمَدَ أَحَدُنَا فَلَطَمَهَا فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعِتْقِهَا
[Machine] Did you find anything except a free face? I have seen myself, and we are the seventh of seven sons of Muqarrin. We have only one servant whom one of us has appointed, and he slapped him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us that when we return, we should set him free, so we set him free.
أَمَا وَجَدْتَ إِلَّا حُرَّ وَجْهِهِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَنَحْنُ سَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ مُقَرِّنٍ وَمَا لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ عَمَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ فَلَطَمَهُ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَجَعْنَا أَنْ نُعْتِقَهُ فَأَعْتَقْنَاهُ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a jar of wine, and I asked him about it. He forbade me from it, so I broke it.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِنَبِيذٍ فِي جَرَّةٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ؟ فَنَهَانِي عَنْهَا فَكَسَرْتُهَا
