From Sahih Bukhari, we read this statement:
Statement 1) "The Prophet said 'None of you should flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of the day.'"
Now Muhammad could have instead given us this statement:
Statement 2) "None of you should flog his wife, none of you should flog a slave, and none of you should own a slave."
So the Debate Question then is: "Which statement is wiser, Statement 1 or Statement 2?
