ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ ضَرْبِ النِّسَاءِ إِذْ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِأَهْلِهِ

[Machine] The men sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to strike women, and he granted them permission. They then struck them, and he slept. Later, he heard a loud noise and said, "What is this?" They replied, "You gave permission to men to strike women, so they struck them." He then forbade them and said, "The best of you is the best to his wife, and I am the best among you to his wives."  

أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ اسْتَأْذَنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ضَرْبِ النِّسَاءِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَضَرَبُوهُنَّ فَبَاتَ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا عَالِيًا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا» قَالُوا أَذِنْتَ لِلرِّجَالِ فِي ضَرْبِ النِّسَاءِ فَضَرَبُوهُنَّ فَنَهَاهُمْ وَقَالَ «خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ لِأَهْلِي»
