Hadith 1657 Part B

setting

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 (ﷺ) 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.
