Narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in her house, and he called one of his or her young slave girls, but she delayed in responding to the command, which caused signs of anger to appear on the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) got up and went towards the curtain and saw that the slave girl was playing. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a miswak in his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If I did not fear retribution and recompense on the Day of Resurrection, I would have beaten you with this miswak." Muhammad bin Haytham narrated with the addition of these words: "She was playing with an animal." The narrator says that Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When I brought her to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I said: O Messenger of Allah! She is swearing that she did not hear your voice. She also said: The miswak was in your hand.
