The Prophet ﷺ said: “If a maid-servant commits adultery and it is proven, then let him (the master) flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits adultery again, let him flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits adultery a third time, let him sell her, even if only for a rope made of hair.”

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِذَا زَنَتِ الأَمَةُ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ».

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If a slave-girl of yours commits illegal sexual intercourse and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be lashed, and after that nobody should blame her, and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse the second time, she should be lashed and nobody should blame her after that, and if she does the offense for the third time and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be sold even for a hair rope."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ

The Prophet ﷺ said: "If a slave woman commits unlawful sexual intercourse and her act is established, let him flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits it again, let him flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits it a third time, let him sell her, even for a rope made of hair."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِذَا زَنَتِ الأَمَةُ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا، فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ».

When the slave-woman of any of you commits adultery and this (offence of hers) becomes clear, she should be flogged (as the prescribed) punishment, but hurl no reproach at her. If she commits adultery again, she should (again be punished) by flogging, but hurl no reproach upon her. If she commits fornication for the third time and it becomes clear, then he should sell her, even if only for a rope of hair.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ

When the slave-woman of any of you commits fornication, he should inflict the prescribed punishment on her, but not hurl reproaches at her. This is to be done up to three times. If she a fourth time, he should flog her, and sell her even if only for a rope of hair.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَحُدَّهَا وَلاَ يُعَيِّرْهَا ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلْيَبِعْهَا بِضَفِيرٍ أَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If one of your slave girl commits illegal sexual intercourse, then whip her three times according to the Book of Allah, and if she does it again then sell her, even if it is for a rope made of hair."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا ثَلاَثًا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَشِبْلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَوْسِيِّ

“If a slave woman commits fornication then whip her, and if she commits fornication then whip her, and if she commits fornication then whip her, then sell her even if that is for a rope.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَتِ الأَمَةُ فَاجْلِدُوهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا ثُمَّ بِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ وَالضَّفِيرُ الْحَبْلُ

[AI] "Regarding the Prophet ﷺ , if the slave woman of one of you commits fornication, and her fornication is proven, then she should be flogged with the punishment. However, he should not accuse her or shame her in the third or fourth pregnancy, but rather he should sell her even if it is for a strand of hair."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا لَا يُعَيِّرْهَا عَلَيْهَا فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If any of your female slaves commit adultery, then whip them but do not disgrace them. If they do it again, whip them but do not disgrace them. If they repeat it for the third time, then sell them, even if it is with a rope made of hair or a braid made of hair.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ أَوْ ضَفِيرٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If any of your servants commits adultery, then flog them and do not insult them. If they do it again, then flog them and do not insult them. If they do it a third time, then flog them and do not insult them. If they do it a fourth time, then flog them and sell them with a rope made of hair or with braided hair."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا زَنَتْ خَادِمُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتِ الثَّانِيَةَ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَيِّرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتِ الرَّابِعَةَ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلْيَبِعْهَا بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ أَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If a slave-girl of yours commits illegal sexual intercourse and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be lashed, and after that nobody should blame her, and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse the second time, she should be lashed and nobody should blame her after that, and if she does the offense for the third time and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be sold even for a hair rope." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2234)

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

عَن النَّبِيّ ﷺ قال إذا زنت أمة أحدكم فليجلدها ثُمَّ إن زنت فليجلدها ثُمَّ إن زنت فليبعها ولو بضفير

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ إذا زنت أمة أحدكم فليجلدها وإذا زنت فليجلدها ثلاثًا ثُمَّ بيعوها ولو بحبل

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of your female slaves commits adultery, let them be lashed. If they commit adultery again, let them be lashed. If they commit adultery a third time, let them be lashed. If they commit adultery a fourth time, sell them, even if it is for a strand of hair."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتِ الرَّابِعَةَ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرِ شَعَرٍ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If a slave woman of any of you commits adultery, then he should flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then he should flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then he should flog her, and if she commits adultery again, then he should sell her even for a rope."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If any of your female slaves commit adultery, flog them. If they commit adultery again, flog them. If they commit adultery a third time, flog them. And if they commit adultery again, then sell them, even if it is with a rope made of hair."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ»

[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said: "If the servant of any one of you commits adultery, then he should lash her." He repeated this three times. If she does it again, then he should sell her, even if it is with a rope made of hair.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا زَنَتْ خَادِمُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If any of you finds his female slave committing adultery, he should whip her using the Book of Allah. If she repeats it, he should sell her, even if it is with a rope made of hair."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ»

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If a slave-girl of yours commits illegal sexual intercourse and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be lashed, and after that nobody should blame her, and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse the second time, she should be lashed and nobody should blame her after that, and if she does the offense for the third time and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, she should be sold even for a hair rope." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2234)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ»

[AI] From the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "If one of you's slave woman commits adultery, then he should punish her (by lashing), and not harm her. If she commits adultery again, then he should punish her (by lashing) again. And if she commits adultery again, then he should sell her, even if it is with a rope made of hair or braids made of hair."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعَنِّفْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ أَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ»

[AI] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "If the slave girl of one of you commits adultery, then he should flog her. If she commits adultery again, then he should flog her. And do not revile her, for if she commits adultery again, then he should sell her, even if it is for a strand of hair."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ»

When the slave-woman of any of you commits adultery and this (offence of hers) becomes clear, she should be flogged (as the prescribed) punishment, but hurl no reproach at her. If she commits adultery again, she should (again be punished) by flogging, but hurl no reproach upon her. If she commits fornication for the third time and it becomes clear, then he should sell her, even if only for a rope of hair. (Using translation from Muslim 1703a)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَزَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَزَنَتْ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said: If any of you finds his slave woman committing adultery, he should ascertain her guilt and then inflict the prescribed punishment upon her, and not add to it anything new. But if she commits adultery again, he should ascertain her guilt and then inflict the prescribed punishment upon her, and not add to it anything new. But if she commits adultery for a third time, then he should sell her, even if it is for a hair string.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ عَادَتْ فَزَنَتْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا الْحَدَّ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ عَادَتْ فَزَنَتْ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ يَعْنِي الْحَبْلَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If one of you's slave woman commits adultery, then lash her without blaming her. If she does it again, then lash her without blaming her. If she does it a third time, then sell her, even if it is with a rope made of hair or a braid of hair.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَتْ أَمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعِيرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلَا يُعِيرْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ أَوْ ضَفِيرٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If a slave-girl commits illegal sexual intercourse and it is proved beyond doubt, then her owner should lash her and should not blame her after the legal punishment. And then if she repeats the illegal sexual intercourse he should lash her again and should not blame her after the legal punishment, and if she commits it a third time, then he should sell her even for a hair rope." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2152)

"إِذَا زَنَتْ أمةُ أحدكم، فتَبَّين زناها فليجلدْها الحدَّ، ولا يُثرِّب عليها، ثم إن زنت فليَجْلِدْهَا الحدِّ ولا يُثَرِّب عليها، ثم إن زَنَتْ الثالثَة فَليَبِعْهَا ولو بِحَبْلٍ من شَعْرٍ".

"إِذَا زنت أمة أحدكم فَليَجَلِدْهَا ولا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيهَا، فإِنَ عَادَتَ فَليَجِلدهَا فإِنْ عادت فَليَبِعْهَا ولو بضفيرِ من شَعْرٍ".

"إِذَا زنت أمةُ أحدِكم فَليَجْلِدْها، ولا يُعيِّرها، ولا يُفنِّدْها، ثم إِن زنتْ فَليَجْلِدْهَا ولا يعيِّرها ولا يُفَنِّدْها ثم إن زنت الثالثَة فَليَبِعْهَا ولو بحبل من شعْرٍ".
