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.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: 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 Abd al-A'la, and also by Shubah from Abd al-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.
