Chapter: Delaying the Hadd punishment in the case of women who have just given birth
Hadith 1705 Part A
Abd al-Rahman reported that 'Ali, while delivering the address said
O people, impose the prescribed punishment upon your slaves, those who are married and those not married, for a slave-woman belonging to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had committed adultery, and he committed me to flog her. But she had recently given birth to a child and I was afraid that if I flogged her I might kill her. So I mentioned that to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he said: You have done well.
Hadith 1705 Part B
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of as-Suddi with the same chain of trznsmitters, but he did not mention
" Those who are married and those who are not married." There is also an addition in it:" I spare her until she is all right."
