[Machine] We were seven people from the Banu Muqarrin tribe during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We had a servant, and one of us slapped him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Set him free." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.

كُنَّا بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَنَا خَادِمٌ فَلَطَمَهُ أَحَدُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَعْتِقُوهُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

[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."
