Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، النكاح، باب في وطء السبايا، حديث:2158، والترمذي، النكاح، حديث:1131، وابن حبان(الإحسان):7 /169، 170، والبزار.»©Explanation:
The meaning of this hadith is that when a woman has already become pregnant from the semen of one man, it is not lawful (halal) for another man to have intercourse (wati) or sexual relations (jima‘) with her.
And its example is like that of a slave woman (bondwoman) whom a man has purchased from someone while she was pregnant, or a slave woman who came into the possession of a man as a captive while she was pregnant. Now, for the buyer or the owner/master of such a slave woman, it is not lawful (halal) to have intercourse (wati) or sexual relations (jima‘) with her until she has delivered her pregnancy.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ For a believing Muslim, speaking with reference to Allah and the Last Day holds utmost importance and emphasis.
➋ To irrigate another’s crop means to have intercourse with another’s wife. That is, adultery (zina) is forbidden, but if a slave woman (bondwoman) is captured in war, it is not permissible to approach her before istibra’ (waiting period to ensure she is not pregnant). If she is pregnant, it is obligatory to wait until she gives birth.
➌ Selling one’s share of war booty before it is determined and received is a form of deception, as it is unknown whether one will receive little or much, or what its value will be.
