O people, impose the prescribed punishment upon your slaves, those who are married and those not married, for a slave-woman belonging to Messenger of Allah ﷺ had committed adultery, and he committed me to flog her. But she had recently given birth to a child and I was afraid that if I flogged her I might kill her. So I mentioned that to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and he said: You have done well.  

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَقِيمُوا عَلَى أَرِقَّائِكُمُ الْحَدَّ مَنْ أَحْصَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصِنْ فَإِنَّ أَمَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَجْلِدَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِنِفَاسٍ فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَنَا جَلَدْتُهَا أَنْ أَقْتُلَهَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ  

" Those who are married and those who are not married." There is also an addition in it:" I spare her until she is all right."  

عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَنْ أَحْصَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصِنْ وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ اتْرُكْهَا حَتَّى تَمَاثَلَ
