countering the aforementioned misconception is the statement of Shaykh al-Kattānī in "al-Risālah al-Mustatrafah"—where he mentioned "Sunan al-Nasāʾī" (p. 10): "What is meant is 'al-Ṣughrā'; for it is counted among the foundational works, and it is the one upon which the scholars based their works on the narrators and transmitters, as opposed to 'al-Kubrā'; contrary to those who said it was intended"! This applies only to "Dhakhāʾir al-Mawārīth" by Shaykh al-Nābulusī, and Allāh knows best.

- (You did well, leave her until she recovers. Meaning: a servant who committed adultery shortly after childbirth). Narrated by Muslim (5/125), al-Dāraqutnī (3/159-160), and al-Bayhaqī (8/244-245) from the path of Isrāʾīl from al-Suddī from Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān who said: ʿAlī (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) addressed us saying: O people! Any male or female slave who commits fornication, establish the ḥadd on them... Then he said: A servant of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) gave birth from adultery, so he sent me to flog her, but I found her shortly after childbirth, and I feared [if I flogged her] I would kill her, so he mentioned it. The addition is from Muslim and others through another path from al-Suddī, and it is referenced in "al-Irwāʾ" (7/360) in a shortened form without his saying: "Leave her ...", and for this reason, I included it here. Al-Suddī: his name is Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Karīmah—he is the elder al-Suddī—and there is slight criticism about him, which is why al-Dhahabī said in "al-Kāshif": "His ḥadīth is good, Abū Ḥātim said: He is not to be used as evidence."
