Hadith 1703 Part C

setting

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about the slave-woman who committed adultery and was not protected (married). He said

If she commits adultery, then flog her and if she commits adultery again, then flog her and then sell her even for a rope. Ibn Shihab said: I do not know whether he said this (his statement pertaining to the sale of slave-woman) at the third or the fourth time. Ibn Shihab said that the word dafir (used in the text) means rope.
