And ʿĪsā ibn Ḥammād al-Miṣrī narrated to me, saying: al-Layth informed us, from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, that he heard him say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "If the slave-girl of any one of you commits fornication, and her fornication becomes evident, then let him apply the prescribed punishment of flogging to her, and let him not revile her. Then if she commits fornication again, let him apply the prescribed punishment of flogging to her, and let him not revile her. Then if she commits fornication a third time, and her fornication becomes evident, then let him sell her, even if for a rope made of hair."
