Musnad Ahmad 1137, 1138 (Book 5, Hadith 553) #34779
Delaying Hadd Punishment for Postpartum Bleeding

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ ordered 'Ali (??? ???? ???) to carry out the hadd punishment on a female servant who committed zina, but he delayed it until her postpartum bleeding stopped.

It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه): A female servant of the Prophet committed zina and he ordered me to carry out the hadd punishment on her. I found that her (postpartum) bleeding had not yet stopped, so i went to him and told him about that, and he said: "When the bleeding stops, then carry out the hadd punishment on her. Carry out the hadd punishment on those whom your right hands possess". This is the version of Ishaq bin Isma'eel. it was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet was told about a slave woman of his who had committed an immoral action. and he narrated the hadeeth.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ح و حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، قَالَ و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ خَادِمًا، لِلنَّبِيِّ فَجَرَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ فَوَجَدْتُهَا لَمْ تَجِفَّ مِنْ دَمِهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِذَا جَفَّتْ مِنْ دَمِهَا فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ أَقِيمُوا الْحُدُودَ عَلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ. حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ بِأَمَةٍ لَهُ فَجَرَتْ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of delaying the hadd punishment for those who have recently given birth. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was told about a female servant of his who had committed an immoral action, and he ordered 'Ali bin Abi Talib to carry out the hadd punishment on her. However, when 'Ali informed him that she was still bleeding from childbirth, he instructed him to wait until her post-birth bleeding stopped before carrying out the punishment. This teaches us that even in cases where justice must be served, we should always be mindful of people's circumstances and show mercy whenever possible. It also shows us that Islam is a religion of mercy and compassion towards all people regardless of their social status or background.
