nasai-kubra:4991Aḥmad b. Ḥarb > Asbāṭ > Muṭarrif > Abū al-Safar > Muʿāwiyah b. Sūwayd b. Muqarrin

[Machine] There was a slave of the Banu Muqarrin. One of us slapped him, so he went to the Prophet ﷺ and complained to him. The Prophet ﷺ freed him. It was then said, "O Messenger of Allah, he does not have any other servant besides him." He said, "Let him serve them until they become independent of him."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٩٩١أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ قَالَ

كَانَ لِبَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ غُلَامٌ فَلَطَمَهُ بَعْضُنَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْتَقَهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ «لِيَخْدِمْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهُ»
