Hadith 1317

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ لِشَرَاحَةَ : لَعَلَّكِ اسْتُكْرِهْتِ ، لَعَلَّ زَوْجَكِ أَتَاكِ ، لَعَلَّكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : لَا ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ ، جَلَدَهَا ، ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : لِمَ جَلَدْتَهَا ، ثُمَّ رَجَمْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : " جَلَدْتُهَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، وَرَجَمْتُهَا بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Imam Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sharaha Hamdaniyyah was addressed by Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): “It is possible that you were forced into this act? Perhaps he is your husband?” But she kept replying “No” to every question. Thus, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) flogged her after she gave birth, and then carried out the punishment of stoning on her. Someone asked, “Why did you give her both punishments?” He replied, “I flogged her in the light of the Book of Allah, and I stoned her in the light of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”
