English narration
Narrated by عبد الأعلى بن عامر الثعلبي
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

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 .
