حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُ مَمْلُوكًا لِي إِذَا رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي مِنْ خَلْفِي اعْلَمْ يَا أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ اعْلَمْ يَا أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَلَّهُ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَى هَذَا قَالَ فَحَلَفْتُ لَا أَضْرِبُ مَمْلُوكًا لِي أَبَدًا.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from his father, from Abu Mas'ud, who said: While I was beating a slave of mine, a man called out from behind me, "Know, O Abu Mas'ud! Know, O Abu Mas'ud!" I turned around, and it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, "By Allah, Allah has more power over you than you have over this one." He said: So I swore that I would never beat a slave of mine again.
