English translation

3365. It was narrated that Salamah bin Al-Muḥabbaq said: “The Prophet ﷺ passed judgment concerning a man who had intercourse with his wife’s slave woman: ‘If he forced her, then she is free, and he has to give her mistress a similar slave as a replacement; if she obeyed him in that, then she belongs to him, and he has to give her mistress a similar slave as a replacement.’” (Hasan)

Arabic text

3363 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ، قَالَ: «قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَجُلٍ وَطِئَ جَارِيَةَ امْرَأَتِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ اسْتَكْرَهَهَا فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ وَعَلَيْهِ لِسَيِّدَتِهَا مِثْلُهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ طَاوَعَتْهُ فَهِيَ لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ لِسَيِّدَتِهَا مِثْلُهَا»

Commentary

It is probable that this Hadīth was uttered before the revelation of the commands prescribing the legal penalty (Hudūd). Now the implementation of the prescribed legal penalty is inevitable. In such a situation, the man involved shall be stoned to death, whether the slave woman had consented or she was raped. The slave woman, however, would be forgiven in the case of rape. In the event of consensual intercourse, she shall receive fifty lashes, as has preceded in the afore-mentioned narrations.
