46 14332 Sahih Muslim 28 4389 The Book of Oaths - كتاب الأيمان "30170 20173 20020 11385 11161" "وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابن، بشار - واللفظ لابن المثنى - قالا حدثنا محمد، بن جعفر حدثنا شعبة، عن فراس، قال سمعت ذكوان، يحدث عن زاذان، أن ابن عمر، دعا بغلام له فرأى بظهره أثرا فقال له أوجعتك قال لا . قال فأنت عتيق . قال ثم أخذ شيئا من الأرض فقال ما لي فيه من الأجر ما يزن هذا إني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول "" من ضرب غلاما له حدا لم يأته أو لطمه فإن كفارته أن يعتقه "" ." " Zadhan reported that Ibn Umar called his slave and he found the marks (of beating) upon his back. He said to him: I have caused you pain. He said: No. But he (Ibn Umar) said: You are free. He then took hold of something from the earth and said: There is no reward for me even to the weight equal to it. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who beats a slave without cognizable offence of his or slaps him (without any serious fault) then expiation for it is that he should set him free."
