Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a slave woman who commits adultery and is not married. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If she commits adultery, then flog her. Then if she commits adultery, flog her. Then if she commits adultery, flog her. Then sell her, even if it is for a rope.
