حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنِ الأَمَةِ إِذَا زَنَتْ وَلَمْ تُحْصَنْ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَاجْلِدُوهَا، ثُمَّ بِيعُوهَا وَلَوْ بِضَفِيرٍ ‏"‏. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ لاَ أَدْرِي بَعْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ.

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid: The verdict of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He replied, "If she commits illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the second time), then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her for even a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that she be sold after the third or fourth time of committing illegal intercourse
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ ও যায়দ ইবনু খালিদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, অবিবাহিতা দাসী যিনা করলে তার হুকুম সম্পর্কে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে জিজ্ঞেস করা হল। তিনি বললেনঃ সে যদি যিনা করে তাকে তোমরা বেত্রাঘাত করবে। আবার যদি যিনা করে তাহলেও বেত্রাঘাত করবে। তারপর যদি যিনা করে তাহলেও বেত্রাঘাত করবে। এরপর তাকে একগুচ্ছ চুলের বিনিময়ে হলেও বিক্রি করে ফেলবে। ইবনু শিহাব (রহ.) বলেন, আমি জানি না যে, (বিক্রির কথা) তৃতীয়বারের পর না চতুর্থবারের পর। [২১৫২, ২১৫৩] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৩৬২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
