Umar hitting Slaves
Ibn Abi Shaybah:
Narrated Abd Al-A’laa from Mo’ammar from Al-Zuhri from Anas who said:
Umar saw a slave-girl wearing Hijab then he beat her and said: "Do not
make yourself like free women!"
Narrated Alee Ibn Mos’har from Al-Mokhtar Ibn Folfol from Anas Ibn
Malik who said: A slave girl of Muhajirun or Ansaar came to Umar
wearing Jilbab (complete Hijab), he said: "Have you been freed?" She said:
“No!” He said: “Put it off your head.” Jilbab is for the freed women. So she
hesitated, so he got up to her with the whip (darrah), and he hit her on the
head, until she threw it.

Narrated Abd Al-A’laa from Mo’ammar from Al-Zuhri from Anas. (Al-
Albani: I say: This chain is Authentic, if Al-Zuhri heard it from Anas)
Narrated Alee Ibn Mos’har from Al-Mokhtar Ibn Folfol from Anas Ibn
Malik who said: A slave girl of Muhajirin or Ansaar came to Umar wearing
Jilbab (complete Hijab), he said: "Have you been freed?" She said: “No!” He
said: “Put it off your head!” Jilbab is for the freed women. So she

head, until she threw it.
Al-Albani: I say: This this is Saheeh 'Authentic' by the criteria of Muslim.

Hadith nr.3
Ibn Hajar:
Narration of Umar: "Take off your your veil, you stinky! Are you
resembling yourself to free women?" I haven’t seen it in this form, but it is
famously known that Umar has beaten a slave-girl who had veil and he
said "Take off your veil, and do not resemble yourself to free women", it
has been narrated by AbdulRazaq through an Authentic chain. And from
Abdulrazaq from Ibn Jarij who said: "Umar beat Aqeela a slave-girl of Abi
Musa because she wore Jilbaab (full veil)."
And Ibn Abi Shayba recorded another incident through an Authentic chain
from Anas that: Umar saw a slave-girl wearing Jilbaab (Full veil),
whereupon he said: "Have you been freed?" She said: “No! He said: “put it
off your head.” Jilbaab is for the freed women. She hesitated, so he went
up to her with the whip (Darrah), and he hit her on the head, until she
threw it. And narrated it Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan in Al-Athaar from Abi
Hanifa from Himad from Ibraheem that Umar used to beat the slave-girls
who wore veil and used to say: "Do not resemble yourselves to free
women!"

refuting
Note the followers of the Ahlulbayt (a.s) have similar narrations that
have been attributed to the Imams of the Ahlulbayt (a.s) in which they are
said to have whipped slave women. These narrations are as follows:
Defence One
‫سألت أبا عبد هللا (ع) عن المملوكة تقنع رأسها إذا صلت؟ قال ال قد كان ىأب إذا رأى الخادمة تصىل ر يف مقنعة رضب ها لتعرف الحرة من‬
‫المملوكة‬
“I asked Aboo AbdAllah (a.s) concerning the possession’s covering of her

head when she prayed? He replied: ‘No! For when my father saw the female
servant *praying* with a scarf on, he *hit* her so that the free can be
known from the possession”.
Source: Ilal Sharai. Vol. 2, Pg. # 345 - 346.
Reply One
The narration is Da`eef (Weak) the primary narrator is Majhool

(unknown) he is said to be 'Hamaad al-Khaadam' and there is no attestation
of him in the Imami books of Rijal.
Defence Two
‫ليس عىل األمة قناع ر يف الصالة‬
Imam Al-Baqir (a.s) said: “There is no cover for the slave girl during
prayer.”
Reply Two
This narration is authentic. However, notice it states a slave woman is not

required to cover herself during prayer whereas the books of the
opponents state the slave girl is not required to cover her head in front
of the public. In addition, there is no mention of the Imam (a.s) hitting the
slave girl in this narration.
Defence Three
Imam Jafar Al-Saddiq (a.s): “No, when my father, (a.s) saw a slave girl
praying and she had a scarf on her, he hit her! And he said: ‘You rascal! Do
not resemble the free ones!’”

recorded in Mustadrak Al-Wasa’il. Vol. 3, Pg. # 217.
Reply Three
The narration is chain-less and is therefore weak.
