"If somebody slanders his slave (by accusing him of committing illegal sexual intercourse) and the slave is innocent from what he says, Allah will impose the punishment upon him on the Day of Resurrection, unless it is as he said about him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1947)   

أحمد:٩٥٦٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نُعْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ نَبِيُّ التَّوْبَةِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَذَفَ مَمْلُوكَهُ بَرِيئًا مِمَّا قَالَ لَهُ إِلَّا قَامَ عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي الْحَدَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ كَمَا قَالَ
