[Machine] We had a slave from the Banu Muqarrin tribe, and a man from us slapped him. So, he complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was said to him that there was no other solution for him. So, he said, "Either I will continue serving them until they are independent of me."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٩٩٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ لَطَمَ ابْنُهُ مَوْلًى لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْطِمْهُ قَالَ فَتَرَكَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ

كَانَ لَنَا بَنُو مُقَرِّنٍ مَمْلُوكٌ فَلَطَمَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ «إمَّا لَا لِيَخْدِمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهُ»
