Carry out justice according to Islamic law .

This hadith speaks to the importance of carrying out the hadd punishments on slaves regardless of their circumstances. It was narrated by Abu 'Abdur-Rahman as-Sulami that Ali addressed a group and said that even if a slave woman has recently given birth or is pregnant, it is still important to carry out the punishment for any wrongdoings they may have committed. In this case, Ali was referring to a slave woman who committed zina and he was instructed by Prophet Muhammad to carry out the punishment despite her condition. However, when he went to do so he found she was still bleeding from childbirth and feared she would die if flogged so he went back to Prophet Muhammad who told him he did well in not doing it in this case. This teaches us that while it is important to carry out justice for wrongdoings we must also be mindful of people's circumstances and take into account their wellbeing before punishing them harshly.
