[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a female slave who commits adultery but is not married. He said, "If she commits adultery, flog her. If she commits adultery again, flog her. Then, sell her even if it is for a rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I do not know if the third or fourth time was meant." Abu Ali Ar-Rawzbary informed us that Abu Bakr ibn Dasa narrated to us from Abu Dawud, who narrated from Abdullah ibn Muslimah from Malik, who mentioned it with a similar chain of narration except that he said it was narrated from Abu Hurairah and Zaid ibn Khalid Al-Juhani. He added, "If she commits adultery again, sell her even if it is for a rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I do not know if it was meant for the third or fourth time. The rope refers to a piece of string."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْأَمَةِ إِذَا زَنَتْ وَلَمْ تُحْصَنْ قَالَ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ بِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ لَا أَدْرِي أبَعْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ 17099 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ زَادَ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَبِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ لَا أَدْرِي فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَالضَّفِيرُ الْحَبْلُ
