Hadith record

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Asbagh Bin Asbagh, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Marwan Bin Muslim, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara, or from Bureyd Al Ajaly, the doubt is, from Muhammad who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘A slave woman commits adultery’. He asws said: ‘She would be whipped fifty’. I said, ‘So if she repeats?’ He asws said: ‘She would be whipped fifty’. I said, ‘Would stoning be Obligated upon her from any of the situations?’ He asws said: ‘If she were to commit adultery eight times, the stoning would be Obligated upon her’. I said, ‘How did it come to be eight times?’ He asws said: ‘Because the free man when he commits adultery four times, and the Penalty ( Hadd ) is established upon him, he is killed. So when the slave woman commits adultery eight times, she would be stoned during the ninth’. I said, ‘And what is the reason with regards to that?’ So he asws said: ‘Allah azwj has been Merciful to her that He azwj would Gather upon her the rope of slavery and the Penalty ( Hadd ) of the free’. Then he asws said: ‘And it is upon the Imam asws of the Muslims that he hand over her price to her master from the portion of the slaves’.
