[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , a man came to him and said, "Indeed, my wife committed adultery." He (the Prophet ﷺ ) said, "Flog her" (i.e. punish her with fifty lashes). He (the man) asked, "What if she does it again?" He (the Prophet ﷺ ) said, "Then flog her again." The man asked again, "What if she does it again?" He (the Prophet ﷺ ) said, "Then flog her again, and if she does it again, then divorce her, even if it is with a strand of hair." Abu Abdur Rahman (the narrator) said, "This was a mistake, and the one before it was also a mistake. The correct opinion is the one before that one."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ وَلِيدَتِي زَنَتْ قَالَ «اجْلِدْهَا خَمْسِينَ» قَالَ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ؟ قَالَ «فَعُدْ» قَالَ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ قَالَ «فَعُدْ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ» فِي الرَّابِعَةِ أَوِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَالضَّفِيرُ الْحَبْلُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالَّذِي قَبْلَهُ خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ
