Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: فَجَرَتْ جَارِيَةٌ لِآلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ انْطَلِقْ فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَإِذَا بِهَا دَمٌ يَسِيلُ لَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ أَفَرَغْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: أَتَيْتُهَا وَدَمُهَا يَسِيلُ، فَقَالَ: دَعْهَا حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ دَمُهَا ثُمَّ أَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ، وَأَقِيمُوا الْحُدُودَ عَلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ،عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَال: لَا تَضْرِبْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ، وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ.

A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i.e. slaves). Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abu al-Ahwas from Abdul-A'la, and also by Shubah from Abdul-A'la. This version has: He said: Do not give her beating until she gives birth to a child. But the former (version) is sounder.
