Hadith 1582
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ حَاطِبٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ حَاطِبٌ، فَأَعْتَقَ مَنْ صَلَّى مِنْ رَقِيقِهِ وَصَامَ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ نُوبِيَّةٌ قَدْ صَلَّتْ وَصَامَتْ وَهِيَ أَعْجَمِيَّةٌ، فَلَمْ تَرُعْهُ إِلَّا بِحَبَلِهَا، وَكَانَتْ ثَيِّبًا، فَذَهَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَحَدَّثَهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَأَنْتَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَأْتِي بِخَيْرٍ، وَأَفْزَعَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: أَحَبِلْتِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ مِنْ مَرْعُوشٍ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ، فَإِذَا هِيَ تَسْتَهِلُّ بِذَلِكَ لَا تَكْتُمُهُ. قَالَ: وَصَادَفَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ، فَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَالِسًا فَاضْطَجَعَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدُّ. فَقَالَ: أَشِرْ عَلَيَّ يَا عُثْمَانُ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَشَارَ عَلَيْكَ أَخَوَاكَ. فَقَالَ: أَشِرْ عَلَيَّ أَنْتَ. فَقَالَ: أَرَاهَا تَسْتَهِلُّ بِهِ [ ص: 276 ] كَأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْلَمُهُ، وَلَيْسَ الْحَدُّ إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ عَلِمَهُ. فَقَالَ: صَدَقْتَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا الْحَدُّ إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ عَلِمَهُ، فَجَلَدَهَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِائَةً وَغَرَّبَهَا عَامًا. أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اخْتِلَافِ الْحَدِيثِ.
Yahya bin Hatib narrated that when Hatib passed away, he freed from among his slaves anyone who had performed prayers and kept fasts. He had a Nubian slave woman who had also performed prayers and kept fasts, and she was a non-Arab. Her pregnancy troubled him. He went to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him of this matter. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You never bring good news," and this statement troubled him. Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a message to the slave woman and asked, "Are you pregnant?" She replied, "Yes, from Mar'ush in exchange for two dirhams (due to committing adultery)." It was as if she was not hiding the matter out of ignorance. Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) encountered Ali, Uthman, and Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "Advise me." Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting reclining, and Ali and Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "The hadd (punishment) will be enforced upon her." Then he (Umar) said, "O Uthman, advise me." He replied, "Your two brothers have already advised you." He said, "Advise me." So he said, "In my opinion, she considers this matter light due to not knowing (its seriousness), and the hadd is only enforced upon one who knows its prohibition." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have spoken the truth. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, the hadd is only for the one who knows." Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered her to be flogged one hundred lashes and exiled for one year.
