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 Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him. and had only one slave-girl and one of us slapped her. This news reached Allah's Apostle ﷺ 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.  

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 اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ لَنَا إِلاَّ خَادِمٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعْتِقُوهَا قَالُوا لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ فَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوهَا فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا عَنْهَا فَلْيُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا  

I slapped a freed slave of ours. My father called him and me and said: Take retaliation on him. We, the people of Banu Muqarrin, were seven during the time of the Prophet ﷺ,and we had only a female servant. A man of us slapped her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Set her free. They said: We have no other servant than her. He said: She must serve them till they become well off. When they become well off, they should set her free.  

لَطَمْتُ مَوْلًى لَنَا فَدَعَاهُ أَبِي وَدَعَانِي فَقَالَ اقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ كُنَّا سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا إِلاَّ خَادِمٌ فَلَطَمَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقُوهَا قَالُوا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ فَلْتَخْدُمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا فَلْيُعْتِقُوهَا  

[Machine] We were the Banu Muqarrin, seven in number, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We had a servant who was the only one we had. One of us hit her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Free her." I said, "We don't have any other servant besides her, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let her serve you until you become independent of her, then set her free."  

كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنَا خَادِمٌ لَيْسَ لَنَا غَيْرُهَا فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهَا» فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَخْدُمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهَا ثُمَّ خَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا»  

[Machine] We were seven of Bani Muqarrin during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and we had a servant who was the only one we had. One day, one of us slapped her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Set her free." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not have any other servant except her?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Let her serve you until you can do without her, then set her free."  

كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنَا خَادِمٌ لَيْسَ لَنَا غَيْرُهَا فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهَا» فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَخْدُمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهَا ثُمَّ خَلُّوا سَبِيلَهَا»
