4469. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah, and Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhānī, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about a slave girl who commits Zinā, and she has not been married. He said: "If she commits Zinā, flog her; then if she commits Zinā, flog her; then if she commits Zinā, flog her; then if she commits Zinā, flog her; then if she commits Zinā sell her, even for a rope." (Saḥīḥ) Ibn Shihāb said: "I do not know if it was the third or fourth time."
4469 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْأَمَةِ إِذَا زَنَتْ وَلَمْ تُحْصَنْ، قَالَ: «إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَبِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ» قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: " لَا أَدْرِي فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ، وَالضَّفِيرُ: الْحَبْلُ "

Legal punishments for slaves are normally about half of that for free people.
