Narrated Abu 'Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami: "Ali Gave A Khutbah, And Said: 'O People, Establish The Penalties Upon Your Slaves, Those Married From Them And Those Unmarried. A Slave Girl Of The Prophet (ﷺ) Committed Illegal Sexual Intercourse So He Ordered Me To Whip Her. I Went To Her And She Was Just Experiencing Her Post-Natal Bleeding, So I Feared That If I Were To Whip Her I Would Kill Her' - Or He Said: 'She Would Die' - 'So I Went To The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) And I Told That To Him. So He Said: 'You Did Well.'"
