Hadith 1705
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَ عَلِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَقِيمُوا عَلَى أَرِقَّائِكُمُ الْحَدَّ مَنْ أَحْصَنَ مِنْهُمْ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصِنْ ، فَإِنَّ أَمَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَجْلِدَهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِنِفَاسٍ ، فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَنَا جَلَدْتُهَا أَنْ أَقْتُلَهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَحْسَنْتَ " ،
Abdul Rahman reported that 'Ali, while delivering the address said: O people, impose the prescribed punishment upon your slaves, those who are married and those not married, for a slave-woman belonging to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had committed adultery, and he committed me to flog her. But she had recently given birth to a child and I was afraid that if I flogged her I might kill her. So I mentioned that to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he said: You have done well.
Hadith 1705
وحَدَّثَنَاه إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَنْ أَحْصَنَ مِنْهُمْ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصِنْ وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ اتْرُكْهَا حَتَّى تَمَاثَلَ .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of as-Suddi with the same chain of transmitters, but he did not mention: "Those who are married and those who are not married." There is also an addition in it: "I spare her until she is all right."
