حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فِي کُلِّ مَرَّةٍ فَلْيَضْرِبْهَا کِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَلَا يُثَرِّبْ عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَإِنْ عَادَتْ فَلْيَضْرِبْهَا کِتَابُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ لِيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4471
This tradition has been transmitted by Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. This version has: He said each time: He should give her the appropriate beating according to Allah’s Book, but not Hurl reproaches at her. He said a fourth time: If she does it again, he should give her the appropriate beating according to Allah’s Book, and then should sell her even if only for a rope of hair.
