Sahih Muslim 1658c (Book 27, Hadith 50) #11414
Slavery and Respect

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a slave-girl being slapped by someone in the house of Suwaid b. Muqarrin, and Suwaid's reaction to it.

Hilal b. Yasaf reported: We used to sell cloth in the house of Suwaid b. Muqarrin, the brother of Nu'man b. Muqarrin. There came out a slave-girl, and she said something to a person amongst us, and he slapped her. Suwaid was enraged-the rest of the hadlth is the same.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَبِيعُ الْبَزَّ فِي دَارِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ أَخِي النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ فَخَرَجَتْ جَارِيَةٌ فَقَالَتْ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَّا كَلِمَةً فَلَطَمَهَا فَغَضِبَ سُوَيْدٌ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation that happened in the house of Suwaid b. Muqarrin, where a slave-girl was slapped by someone present there. The hadith then goes on to describe how Suwaid reacted to this incident with anger and rage, which shows us that he did not approve of such behavior towards slaves or any other person for that matter. It teaches us the importance of respecting all people regardless of their social status or position in society, as well as controlling our anger when faced with difficult situations like this one. We should also remember that slavery was an accepted practice during this time period, so we should not judge people based on their actions from centuries ago but rather focus on learning from them and applying those lessons today in our own lives.
