Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A slave woman belonging to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave birth to a child as a result of adultery. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "I will carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on her." The condition of that slave woman was that her postnatal bleeding (nifas) had not yet ended, and she was not yet pure. I submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! Her postnatal bleeding has not yet ended, and she is not yet pure." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When she becomes pure, then carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on her." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Establish the prescribed punishments (hudud) on those under your ownership (slaves and slave women)." Shu'bah, Isra'il, Shareek, Ibrahim bin Tahman, and Abu Waki' have also followed up this narration from Abdula'la.
