This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Zinad and he said:" When one amongst you strikes (at the face)."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ،
بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالَ
" إِذَا ضَرَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ " .
