English translation

4437. It was narrated from Sahl bin Sa’d that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed in his presence that he had committed Zinā with a woman, whom he mentioned by name. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent word to the woman asking her about that, and she denied that she had committed Zinā. So he carried out the Hadd (punishment) of flogging on him, and left her alone. (Sahih)

Arabic text

4437 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّهُ زَنَى بِامْرَأَةٍ سَمَّاهَا لَهُ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْكَرَتْ أَنْ تَكُونَ زَنَتْ، فَجَلَدَهُ الْحَدَّ وَتَرَكَهَا»
