Malik bin Huwayrith reported,

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with people following him, so I followed him along with them. Suddenly the crowd surged forward, and I lagged behind. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came up to me and struck me a blow, either with a palm-stalk, a stick, a tooth-stick, or something else he had with him.By Allah, it did not hurt me, but I spent the night restless, saying to myself, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have struck me except for something Allah had made known to him about me." I resolved to go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning.Then Jibreel عليه السلام descended upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, "You are a shepherd, so do not break the horns of your flock."When we had prayed the morning prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, there are people who follow me, and I do not like that they follow me. O Allah, whomever I have struck or insulted, make it for him an expiation and a reward," or he said, "forgiveness and mercy," or as he said.

Hasan

عن أبي السوار عن خاله قال

رأيت رسول الله ﷺ وأناس يتبعونه فاتبعته معهم، قال: ففجئني القوم يسعون، قال: وأبقى القوم، فأتى علي رسول الله ﷺ، فضربني ضربة، إما بعسيب أو قضيب أو سواك، أو شيء كان معه، قال: فوالله ما أوجعني، قال: فبت بليلة: قال وقلت: ما ضربني رسول الله ﷺ إلا لشيء علمه الله في، قال: وحدثني نفسي أن آتي رسول الله ﷺ إذا أصبحت، قال: فنزل جبريل عليه السلام على النبي ﷺ فقال: إنك راع، فلا تكسر قرون رعيتك. قال: فلما صلينا الغداة- أو قال أصبحنا- قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: اللهم إن أناسا يتبعوني، وإني لا يعجبني أن يتبعوني، اللهم فمن ضربت أو سبب، فاجعلها له كفارة وأجرا. أو قال: مغفرة ورحمة. أو كما قال.
