Hadith.5051 - Ibrahim bin Hashim narrated from Al-Asbagh bin Al-Asbagh. He said: Muhammad bin Sulayman Al-Misri narrated to me from Marwan bin Muslim from Ubayd bin Zurarah or from Burayd Al-Ijli (the doubt is from Muhammad), who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a slave who commits adultery. Imam (as) said: "He is to be lashed half the prescribed punishment." I asked: "What if he does it again?" Imam (as) replied: "He is to be lashed the same amount." I asked: "What if he repeats it again?" Imam (as) said: "He is not to be given more than half the prescribed punishment." I asked: "Is he ever liable for stoning due to any of his actions?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, he is to be killed on the eighth offense if he does it eight times." I asked: "What is the difference between him and a free man when their actions are the same?" Imam (as) said: "Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, had mercy on him by not combining the burden of slavery and the punishment of a free man upon him." Then Imam (as) said: "It is obligatory upon the leader of the Muslims to pay his price to his master from the zakat share allocated for freeing slaves."
5051 - رَوَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ اَلْمِصْرِيُّ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ أَوْ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ اَلْعِجْلِيِّ اَلشَّكُّ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَبْدٌ زَنَى فَقَالَ "يُجْلَدُ نِصْفَ اَلْحَدِّ" قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ عَادَ قَالَ "فَيُضْرَبُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ عَادَ قَالَ "لاَ يُزَادُ عَلَى نِصْفِ اَلْحَدِّ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ اَلرَّجْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ فِعْلِهِ قَالَ "نَعَمْ يُقْتَلُ فِي اَلثَّامِنَةِ إِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانَ مَرَّاتٍ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا اَلْفَرْقُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَلْحُرِّ وَ إِنَّمَا فِعْلُهُمَا وَاحِدٌ قَالَ "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَحِمَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ عَلَيْهِ رِبْقَ اَلرِّقِّ وَ حَدَّ اَلْحُرِّ" قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ "وَ عَلَى إِمَامِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ ثَمَنَهُ إِلَى مَوْلاَهُ مِنْ سَهْمِ اَلرِّقَابِ".
