Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَنَّ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ أَتَى عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدِي سَرَقَ مِنْ عَبْدِي قَبَاءً قَالَ مَالِكَ سُرِقَ بَعْضُهُ فِي بَعْضٍ قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ ذَكَرَ أَمَتِي زَنَتْ قَالَ فَاجْلِدْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهَا لَمْ تُحْصَنْ قَالَ إِسْلَامُهَا إِحْصَانُهَا وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ
English Translation
Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah informed us, from Abu Mansur al-Abbas ibn al-Fadl, from Ahmad ibn Najdah, from Sa'id ibn Mansur, from Sufyan, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from Hammam ibn al-Harith, from Amr ibn Shurahbil that Ma'qil ibn Muqarrin came to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and said: 'My slave stole a cloak from another of my slaves.' He said: 'Your property was partly stolen by another part of it.' He mentioned, I think, 'My slave woman committed fornication.' He said: 'Then flog her.' He said: 'She is not married.' He said: 'Her Islam is her ihsan (i.e., being a Muslim itself is sufficient for the punishment to apply).' This was also narrated by Hammad ibn Zayd from Mansur.
