قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْأَعْوَرِ ، عَنْ حَبَّةَ بْنِ جُوَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ . فَقَالَ : لَعَلَّكِ أُتِيتِ وَأَنْتِ نَائِمَةٌ فِي فِرَاشِكِ ، أَوْ أُكْرِهْتِ ؟ قَالَتْ : أُتِيتُ طَائِعَةً غَيْرَ مُكْرَهَةٍ . قَالَ : لَعَلَّكِ غُصِبْتِ عَلَى نَفْسِكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : مَا غَضِبْتُ ، فَحَبَسَهَا ، فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ وَشَبَّ ابْنُهَا جَلَدَهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to him and, confessing the offence, said that she had committed zina (fornication). He (may Allah be pleased with him), (seeking some room to spare her the hadd punishment,) asked, "Perhaps this happened to you while you were sleeping soundly in your bed, or perhaps you were forced into this act?" She replied that she had done it of her own will and that no compulsion had been used on her. He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked again, "Perhaps some force (assault) was used against your person?" She said that no compulsion had been used on her. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) detained her (until the birth of the child), and when she had given birth and the child had grown up somewhat, he (may Allah be pleased with him) had her flogged.
This narration makes clear the scholarly point that in matters of the hadd punishments it is recommended to try to avert the hadd on the basis of doubts, as he (may Allah be pleased with him) wished to give this woman a chance by offering her various excuses; it is also established that the hadd on a pregnant woman is to be deferred until she gives birth and the child's early nurturing is complete.

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ حِطَّانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : يُحْشَرُ أَوْلَادُ الزِّنَا فِي صُورَةِ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The children born of fornication (zina) will be gathered (on the Day of Resurrection) in the forms of apes and swine."
وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ الْأَعْمَى ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِفِتْيَانِ قُرَيْشٍ : لَا تَزْنُوا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ سَلَّمَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ شَبَابَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ . أَخْرَجَهُ الْبَزَّارُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَقَالَ : لَا نَعْلَمُهُ بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ .
Imam al-Tayalisi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Talhah al-A'ma informed us through a man (whom he named) that it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the young men of Quraysh, "Do not commit fornication (zina), for whoever's youth Allah Almighty keeps safe and sound (from sins) enters Paradise."
Imam al-Bazzar also narrated this hadith through al-Jurayri from Abu Nadrah, from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and Imam al-Bazzar said: We do not know this hadith with this wording except through this chain.

وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ امْرَأَةً أَقَرَّتْ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالزِّنَا ، فَبَعَثَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَبَا وَاقِدٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ رَجَعْتِ تَرَكْنَاكِ ، فَأَبَتْ ، فَرَجَمَهَا .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Shaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) that a woman confessed to fornication (zina) in the court of the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him). So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Waqid (may Allah be pleased with him) to her with this message: "If you retract this confession of yours (that is, change your statement), we will let you go." But the woman flatly refused (to withdraw her confession), so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had her stoned (in accordance with the Shari'ah rule).
