[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If the slave woman of any of you commits adultery, then let him ascertain her adultery, then let him lash her with one hundred lashes and let there be no compassion for her. If she commits adultery again, then let him lash her with one hundred lashes and there be no compassion for her. If she commits adultery for the third time, then let him ascertain her adultery, then let him sell her, even for a rope of hair."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the slave woman who commits adultery and is not married. He said, "If she commits adultery, then flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then sell her, even if it is for a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I do not know if it is after the third or fourth time." He said, "And the hair rope is a rope made of hair."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْأَمَةِ إِذَا زَنَتْ وَلَمْ تُحْصَنْ قَالَ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَبِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَبْعَدَ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ قَالَ وَالضَّفِيرُ الْحَبْلُ  

[Machine] Umar ibn al-Khattab commanded me regarding some young men from the Quraish, so we lashed them with fifty lashes each for committing adultery.  

أَمَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فِي فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجَلَدْنَا وَلَائِدَ مِنْ وَلَائِدِ الْإِمَارَةِ خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ فِي الزِّنَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If your female slaves commit adultery, then apply the prescribed punishment on them, whether they are married or not."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا زَنَتْ إِمَاؤُكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحُدُودَ أُحْصِنَّ أَوْ لَمْ يُحْصِنَّ  

"Ali gave a Khutbah, and said: 'O people, establish the penalties upon your slaves, those married from them and those unmarried. A slave girl of the Prophet ﷺ committed illegal sexual intercourse so he ordered me to whip her. I went to her and she was just experiencing her post-natal bleeding, so I feared that if I were to whip her I would kill her' - or he said: 'She would die' - 'so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I told that to him. So he said: 'You did well.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1441)   

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَقِيمُوا الْحُدُودَ عَلَى أَرِقَّائِكُمْ مَنْ أُحْصِنَ مِنْهُمْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصِنْ فَإِنَّ أَمَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَجْلِدَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَدِيثَةُ عَهْدٍ بِالنِّفَاسِ فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَنَا جَلَدْتُهَا أَنْ تَمُوتَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْمُقَدَّمِيِّ فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَنَا جَلَدْتُهَا أَنْ أَقْتُلَهَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ  

[Machine] I visited Ali and said to him, "Indeed, he committed an obscene act, so impose the punishment on him." He replied to me four times, then he said, "O Qanbar, go to him and strike him with one hundred lashes." I said, "Indeed, I am a slave." He said, "Strike him until he says to you to stop." So he struck him with fifty lashes. Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "The protection of a slave's faith is established by evidence from the Sunnah and the consensus of most of the scholars."  

أَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ أَصَابَ فَاحِشَةً فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ قَالَ فَرَدَّدَنِي أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا قَنْبَرُ قُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاضْرِبْهُ مِائَةَ سَوْطٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي مَمْلُوكٌ قَالَ اضْرِبْهُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ لَكَ أَمْسِكْ فَضَرَبَهُ خَمْسِينَ سَوْطًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَإِحْصَانُ الْأَمَةِ إِسْلَامُهَا اسْتِدْلَالًا بِالسُّنَّةِ وَإِجْمَاعِ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ  

[Machine] "And their chastity said, 'Her Islam Is'"  

وَقَالَ إِحْصَانُهَا إِسْلَامُهَا  

[Machine] I witnessed Anas ibn Malik punishing his female slaves when they committed adultery, whether they were married or unmarried.  

شَهِدْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَضْرِبُ إِمَاءَهُ الْحَدَّ إِذَا زَنَيْنَ تَزَوَّجْنَ أَوْ لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ  

[Machine] The security of a woman lies in her entering Islam and affirming it when she enters Islam and acknowledges it. If she then commits adultery, she is to be lashed fifty times. Sa'eed narrated to us, Hushaym informed us, from Mujahid, from Ibrahim, that he used to recite "Then when they are wedded" (Quran 4:25). He said: When they convert and if they are a mujahid, they recite "Then when they are wedded" (Quran 4:25) and they say: When you marry. If the woman does not marry, there is no punishment on her. Sa'eed narrated to us, Sufyan informed us, from Amr, from Mujahid, who said: Ibn Abbas said: There is no punishment on the woman until she is married. Sa'eed narrated to us, Hushaym informed us, from Hushayn, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that he used to recite "Then when they are wedded" (Quran 4:25). He said: When they marry. This is what Ibn Abbas used to say. And we only left his statement due to what has passed from the authentic sunnah and the statements of the scholars. And with Allah is the success.  

إِحْصَانُ الْأَمَةِ دُخُولُهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَإِقْرَارُهَا إِذَا دَخَلَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَقَرَّتْ بِهِ ثُمَّ زَنَتْ فَعَلَيْهَا جَلْدُ خَمْسِينَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ أنبأ مُغِيرَةُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ {فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ} [النساء 25] قَالَ إِذَا أَسْلَمْنَ وَكَانَ مُجَاهِدٌ يَقْرَأُ {فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ} [النساء 25] يَقُولُ إِذَا تَزَوَّجْنَ فَإِذَا لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجِ الْأَمَةُ فَلَا حَدَّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَمَةِ حَدٌّ حَتَّى تُحْصَنَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ أنبأ حُصَيْنٌ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ {فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ} [النساء 25] قَالَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجْنَ كَذَا كَانَ يَقُولُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكْنَا قَوْلَهُ بِمَا مَضَى مِنَ السُّنَّةِ الصَّحِيحَةِ وَأَقَاوِيلِ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
