وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ خَادِمًا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْدَثَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُهَا لَمْ تَجِفَّ مِنْ دَمِهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ إِذَا جَفَّتْ مِنْ دَمِهَا فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ أَقِيمُوا الْحُدُودَ عَلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a slave woman of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) committed adultery, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to carry out the prescribed punishment on her. But when I went to her, I found her in such a state that her postnatal bleeding had not yet stopped. I returned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the situation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When her bleeding stops, then carry out the punishment on her. Carry out the prescribed punishments on your slaves as well.
