4532. It was narrated from ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin Muḥammad, from Suhail, from his father, from Abū Hurairah, that Sa’d bin ‘Ubādah said: “O Messenger of Allāh, if a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him?” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “No.” Sa’d said: “Yes, by the One Who has honored you with the truth!” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Listen to what your chieftain is saying.” (Saḥīh) ‘Abdul-Waḥhāb (one of the narrators) said: “... to what Sa’d is saying.”

4532 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ الْحَوْطِيُّ، الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، الرَّجُلُ يَجِدُ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ؟ قَالَ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا» قَالَ سَعْدٌ: بَلَى وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ بِالْحَقِّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «اسْمَعُوا إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ سَيِّدُكُمْ» قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ سَعْدٌ
