" كُنَّا - بَنِى مُقَرِّن - سَبْعَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَلَنَا خَادِمٌ لَيْسَ لَنَا غَيْرُهَا، فَلَطَمَهَا أَحَدُنَا. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : أَعْتِقوهَا. فَقُلْنَا: لَيْسَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ غَيْرَهَا يَا رَسُولَ الله. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : نَخْدُمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ خَلَّوا سَبِيلَهَا ".

[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."

[Machine] We were the Banu Muqarrin, seven in number, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We had a servant who was the only one we had. One of us hit her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Free her." I said, "We don't have any other servant besides her, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let her serve you until you become independent of her, then set her free."
