Book of Oaths
باب: من حلف: ليضربن عبده مائة سوط، فجمعها فضربه بها، لم يحنث استدلالا بقوله عز وجل وخذ بيدك ضغثا فاضرب به ولا تحنث
Chapter: One who swears he will strike his slave a hundred lashes, then gathers them and strikes him with them at once, does not break his oath, based on the words of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: And take in your hand a bunch of twigs and strike with it and do not break your oath
Bayhaqi 20030 — One who swears he will strike his slave a hundred
بِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ} [ص: 44].
(It is argued) from this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And take in your hand a bundle of twigs, and strike with it, and do not break your oath." [Surah Sad: 44]
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمَذَانِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أُضْنِيَ، فَعَادَ جِلْدُهُ عَلَى عَظْمٍ، فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ جَارِيَةٌ لِبَعْضِهِمْ فَهَشَّ لَهَا فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قِصَّتَهُ قَالَ: " فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا لَهُ مِائَةَ شِمْرَاخٍ، فَيَضْرِبُوهُ بِهَا ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً ".
Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from some of the Ansari Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that a man was suffering from illness until he wasted away, and his skin clung to his bones. A slave girl came in to him; he became excited by her and had intercourse with her. Then he mentioned his incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gather a hundred twigs for him and strike him with them a single time."
