2565. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah, Zaid bin Khâlid and Shibl said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ and a man asked him about a slave woman who commits fornication before she is married. He said: 'Whip her, and if she commits fornication (again), whip her (again).' Then he said, on the third or fourth time: 'Then sell her, even if that is for a rope of hair.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2565 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، وَشِبْلٍ قَالُوا: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الْأَمَةِ تَزْنِي قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحْصَنَ، فَقَالَ: «اجْلِدْهَا، فَإِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدْهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ: فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ «فَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ»
