Prescribed Punishments
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا ضَرَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَّقِ الوجهَ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying, “When one of you inflicts a beating he should avoid striking the face.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
