THE KINDNESS OF THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him H 648 "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, never struck anyone, neither a servant nor a maid, but he did fight in the cause of Allah. He never avenged any injury done to him, but, he did impose punishment for the violation of Divine injunctions." R 648 Muslim with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
643- وعنها ، قالت : مَا ضَرَبَ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم شَيْئاً قَطُّ بِيَدِهِ ، وَلاَ امْرَأةً وَلاَ خَادِماً ، إِلاَّ أنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبيلِ اللهِ ، وَمَا نِيلَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَطُّ فَيَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ ، إِلاَّ أن يُنْتَهَكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ تَعَالَى ، فَيَنْتَقِمُ للهِ تَعَالَى . رواه مسلم .
