Suwaid b. Muqarrin reported that he had a slave-girl and a person (one of the members of the family) slapped her, whereupon Suwaid said to him:
Don't you know that it is forbidden (to strike the) face. He said: You see I was the seventh one amongst my brothers during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and we had but only one servant. One of us got enraged and slapped him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded us to set him free.
