أحمد:٢٥٧١٥حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَادِمًا قَطُّ وَلَا امْرَأَةً وَلَا ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ  

ذِكْرُ مَا كَانَ يَسْتَعْمِلُ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ مِنْ تَرْكِ ضَرْبِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِنَفْسِهِ

«مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَرَبَ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ وَلَا خَادِمًا قَطُّ»
