The hadith of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never struck a servant, a woman, or a beast with his hand, nor anything at all, except when fighting in the cause of Allah..."

The questioner : Good; here is the hadith of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never struck a servant of his, a woman, a beast, or anything at all with his hand, except when fighting in the cause of Allah, and he never took revenge for himself." In another wording: "He was never wronged in anything and then took revenge on the one who wronged him, except when the prohibitions of Allah were violated. When the prohibitions of Allah were violated, nothing could restrain his anger until he took revenge for Allah."
This hadith is in two parts, the first part and the second part. The first part is: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never struck a servant of his, a woman, a beast, or anything at all with his hand, except when fighting in the cause of Allah." This is the first part, and it is mentioned in some hadiths and some books of the Sunnah, while the second part is in other books. So how do we divide the first part? We divide the hadith into two parts, the first part contains such and such, and the second part contains such and such, or not?
The Shaykh : It is necessary, as long as you have not found the hadith with this completeness in a source from the sources of the books of the Sunnah, that you divide it, perhaps into two parts, or even into three. The hadith, as I recall, is found in "Sahih" from the hadith of 'A'ishah, but it is not in my memory that it mentions the beast. Did you review something about that or not?
The questioner : Yes, I found it in the second part.
The Shaykh : I am saying it is not... but - peace be upon you - ... Yes.
The questioner : Al-Bukhari narrated it in the second part.
The Shaykh : This is it. What is the wording of al-Bukhari?
The questioner : "And he never took revenge for himself." In another wording: "He was never wronged in anything and then took revenge on the one who wronged him, except when the prohibitions of Allah were violated. When the prohibitions of Allah were violated, nothing could restrain his anger until he took revenge for Allah."
The Shaykh : So it does not have: "He never struck"?
The questioner : No, it does not have: "He never struck."
The Shaykh : There is no banner?
The questioner : It does not have it; in al-Bukhari it does not have it.
The Shaykh : In Muslim?
The questioner : I have not reviewed it.
