Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Habib bin Salim narrates that a man had intercourse with his wife's slave-girl, so his wife came to Hazrat Nu'man bin Bashir and informed him about this. He said: Indeed, I have complete information about this matter which I narrate from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is: If you have permitted him, then I will give him one hundred lashes, and if you have not permitted him, then I will stone him to death.

Hazrat Ikrimah narrates that a woman came to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "My husband has had intercourse with my slave-girl." He replied, "If you are truthful, I will stone him, and if you are lying, I will flog you." People became agitated about this matter and began to dispute with one another, and the woman left.

Hazrat Mubarak bin Ammarah narrates that a woman came to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Alas! My husband has had intercourse with my slave-girl." He replied: "If you are truthful, I will stone him, and if you are lying, I will have you flogged."

Hazrat Mak'hool narrates that Hazrat Umar said: "No man should be brought to me who has had intercourse with his wife's slave-girl, otherwise I will deal with him in such and such a manner."

Hazrat Hisham states that Hasan Basri and Hazrat Muhammad bin Sirin were asked about a man who has intercourse with his wife's slave-girl, so both of them recited this verse: Translation: And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for then they are not to be blamed.

Hazrat Basheer bin Salman narrates that I heard Ibrahim saying: The punishment less than the prescribed limit will not be considered as the prescribed limit.

Hazrat Ma'bad and Hazrat Ubaid bin Himran both state that Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud imposed a punishment less than the prescribed limit for this.

Hazrat A'mash says that Hazrat Alqamah stated: I do not mind whether I have intercourse with my wife's slave-girl or with the slave-girl of 'Awsajah (a man from their Qiblah).

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrated, and it is reported from Hazrat Abu Maisarah regarding a man who had intercourse with his wife's slave-girl. He said: I do not mind whether I have intercourse with her or with a slave-girl passing by on the road.

Hazrat Hisham states that Hasan Basri said: The prescribed punishment will be carried out on him.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Hazrat Umar said: If a man is brought to me who has had intercourse with his wife's concubine, I will certainly stone him to death.

Hazrat Nafi’ reports that a slave girl came to Hazrat Umar and said: O Commander of the Faithful! Indeed, Hazrat Mughira has intercourse with me and his wife calls me an adulteress. So if I am the property of his wife, then stop him from having intercourse with me, and if I am the property of Mughira, then stop his wife from accusing me. Upon this, Hazrat Umar sent a messenger to call Hazrat Mughira and asked: Do you have intercourse with this slave girl? He replied: Yes. Hazrat Umar asked: Where did you get her from? He replied: My wife gifted her to me as a gift. Hazrat Umar said: By Allah! If she has not gifted this slave girl to you, you will not return home today except after receiving lashes. Then Hazrat Umar ordered so-and-so and so-and-so and said: Both of you go to Mughira’s wife and inform her about this matter. If you have not gifted this slave girl to him, we will surely stone her. So both men went to Hazrat Mughira’s wife and informed her about the matter. She said: Alas! Do they intend to stone my husband? Then Allah settled the matter through her statement, and she said: Indeed, I have gifted that slave girl to him. So Hazrat Umar let them go.

Ibrahim narrates that a man came to Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud and said: "Indeed, I have had intercourse with my wife's slave-girl." Upon this, he (Ibn Mas'ud) said: "Surely Allah has concealed your sin, so you too conceal it." This matter reached Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: "If the person who came to Ibn Umm Abd had come to me, I would certainly have crushed his head with stones."
