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)
