Hadith #578
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَدَعَا غُلَامًا لَهُ فَأَعْتَقَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لِي فِيهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ مَا يَسْوَى هَذَا أَوْ يَزِنُ هَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ ضَرَبَ عَبْدًا لَهُ حَدًّا لَمْ يَأْتِهِ أَوْ ظَلَمَهُ أَوْ لَطَمَهُ شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَإِنَّ كَفَّارَتَهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ

English Translation
It was narrated — via 'Abd al-Rahman, from Sufyan, from Firas, from Abu Salih, from Zaadhan — that he said: 'I was with Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما). He called one of his slaves and freed him, then said: "My reward for this is not worth this much" — picking something up — "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever beats a slave with a punishment he did not deserve, or wronged him, or slapped him' — ['Abd al-Rahman was uncertain about the exact phrasing] — 'his expiation is to free him."'
